It may be downloaded from www.docctrl.com Think of it as a late Christmas present from us to the Acrobat community! Local Render is a tool for automatically converting Microsoft Word (Office 97 and Office 95) documents into "intelligent" PDF files. The Word Headings levels are converted into Acrobat Bookmarks. The Word Cross References, Links and Web Links, etc are converted into Acrobat Links and Web Links. The Acrobat "Document Information" fields are automatically populated from the equivalent Microsoft Word fields. Users may set security and passwords in the PDF file and automatically set the options to create thumbnails and optimise the file. It is possible to use either PDFwriter or Distiller to create intelligent PDF. Multiple files may be processed in batch mode. Please let it be known that this "commercial" message has been cleared with Kurt - so no spams please.

Jade (the product which converts PDF to RTF files) has not been released in its final version, but rather is still in beta and still, I believe, available as a downloadable demo. The product that I was thinking of is its FreeBird, which converts from PDF to TIF files. I have tried the demo and it works very well. It is priced at $1,500 in its final release. The moderator of this forum contacted me and advised that comments and opinions regarding pricing are not welcome. I may have a difference of opinion on that policy, but I am a guest here and will therefore not share that opinion at this time. Anyone who wishes to know my opinion regarding the pricing of FreeBird is welcome to contact me privately. ====================================================== M.

Earlier there were several messages on pdf-l indicating that people would prefer a separate mailing list for PDF use in prepress. I suggested that I could help, or perhaps run myself, a list for PDF use in high-end prepress environments. Response was very positive, so I decided to put back on my list manager hat, and set up a new list. The name of the list is pdf-prepress-l and it is located at InfoMania Printing and Prepress, a PostScript prepress house in Sacramento, CA. It is handled on a Sun server system, with the latest version of the free mailing list manager, Majordomo. To subscribe to the list, send e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: subscribe pdf-prepress-l or subscribe pdf-prepress-d The second entry will get you a digested version of the list, which sends out a message once 200 lines of pdf-prepress-l accumulate. The list is setup to keep archives. I will put up a web interface to the archives later, but in the meantime they can be accessed as described in the Majordomo help file, which can be mailed to you by sending e-mail to: In the body of the message, enter the text: help and you will get a file describing all you need to know as a member of pdf-prepress-l and/or pdf-prepress-d. Thank you.

Yes, there is a way to convert named destination links to normal links, but we don't have a way to remove unused (or all) named destinations. This will appear in the next release.

Each section heading is marked as a table of contents entry. Each employee entry (just the lastname, firstname room number, and phone number part) is marked as an index entry. We publish the directory monthly as follows: "Generate" the document to rebuild the TOC and alphabetical index of employees. Manually add A-Z section headings in the index (haven't figured out how to macro this yet). Convert to PDF using PDFWriter. Using a Windows 3.1 Macro Recorder (now run under Windows 95) macro we have written, and the xMakeBookmarks and xMakeLinks plug-ins from xToolsOne ($99 US from www.xman.com) we walk through the PDF document a page at a time, building bookmarks for each letter heading of the alpha list, along with links from the table of contents heading to the appropriate sections, and from each alpha entry back to the appropriate section page number. The process is a bit time-consuming, but generates a document that has been well-received and easy to use, and works in both online and paper formats. Final product is 150 pages/1.5 meg. - Derek MacEwen Government of Canada-Veterans Affairs Charlottetown PE Canada Mera, Jose wrote: > < ! -- Posted to the PDF email list, hosted by PDFzone.COM since 1995 -- > > > Robert, > > Alliant Techsystems' InfoLinker product is an Acrobat plug-in that automates > the process of adding links to documents.

I would like to use PDF as the underlying file format. I know many small business that already use MS Access and don't want another incompatible database for managing paper documents. The market for Adobe PDF files would greatly increase if there was a way to integrate its features with MS Access and use the front end to replicate the Adobe Exchange features. I have written to Adobe suggesting they write a MS Access or VB "Adobe" tool/control, but they haven't seen fit to respond. Has anyone written such a database or Access tool?

Thank you in advance, thank you for past support, and Happy New Year to all! :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, John: I found your message to the PDF Lists group dated Mon, 9 Mar 1998 in the archives of the PDFZone. I noticed that you offered the following advice: Also, CAD drawings really enjoy being converted to WMF. WMF drawings are great for importing into all manner of documents later in life, and they don't lose their "vector-ish" properties. Can WMF be converted directly to PDF? Is there a way to convert a batch of CAD WMF files to PDF? I have a potential project involving 250+ CAD drawings that need to be PDF and I'm looking for the best way to convert them. Your expert advice is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance. --Karen L.

Your expert advice is very much appreciated. Karen - I recently had to work with WMF files destined for a PDF publication. What I found was that MS Word has a filter for importing WMF files (both bitmap and vector). You could write a macro to automate that. You could then distill the Word files to PDF. The difference between that and what you are planning to do - convert to TIFF and then distill - is, of course, that you could retain the vector simplicity and resolution if you don't first convert all to bitmap.

This might have been discussed before, but i am unaware. I have a Frame 5.5 book consisting of over 18 files. I have been able to convert this to pdf using Acrobat 3.0 without any problems so far. Since the last 3-4 conversions, i have been having all kinds of problems. - The final pdf is very sluggish. Tried setting the "Use Page Cache" option. Didnt help. - Sometimes the links in the index don't work. Or if they do, its only the links to the first few chapters that work. The links to later chapters refuse to function. - The pdf file size has suddenly bloated from 4.xMB to 53MB. I am not able to explain this. All the above have occured with different distill attempts.When the file size bloated, the links worked, but the resolution went for a toss. How does one remedy this situation?

This will reduce file size, particularly if you have made many edits to the file. Also check image compression. Distiller defaults work fine for almost all cases.

Not without a plug-in, but you could have a PRINT button that issued a message then did the job. Experience suggests that users will use a large, friendly, button that says PRINT in preference to any other method, if they can see it.

That is the OLE representation of a PDF file. Like sounds or programs, they will appear as icons. They can't be used as if they were graphics (with a few very specialised exceptions). Best to forget OLE, store a file name, and open the file when required.

I don't have ready access to a Windows 3.1 system connected to the Web, so I cannot easily perform some tests to answer these questions directly. Adobe has released a 3.02 version of Acrobat Reader for 32-bit platforms only. Does this mean that: The problems with PCL printing (also addressed by the RA patch) and access to PDF files through Internet Explorer (also addressed by OCXINST) do not occur with 16-bit Acrobat 3.0x? I am trying to determine whether our users with 16-bit platforms are going to experience some problems for which there are no solutions available. Thank you.

PCL printing - probably. Users still on Windows 3.1 may not have high expectations, though. 2. There has never been support for Internet Explorer on 16-bit Windows. I don't think IE3 on Win 3.1 had ActiveX support.

I am looking to take PDFs that contain graphics (that have a sceened % of black) and control the lines per inch on the output device. The output device is a HP laserjet (postscript) printing at 600 dpi resolution. As one can control the lpi in Quark or Pagemaker, this cannot be easily achieved in word or wordperfect. If I can get to PDF, is there software that can give me control that I am looking for ? software? platform? where can I get more info? estimate price? thanks- Christopher Uschan ---------------------------------------------------- Digital Resources Manager OMNIPRESS Toll-free: 1-800-828-0305 ph: 608-246-2600 fax: 608-246-4237 We are on-line :) --> 0000,0000,ffffhttp://www.omnipress.com __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 6-Jan-1999 17:45:52-GMT,2156;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA07146 for ; Wed, 6 Jan 1999 10:45:50 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA00006; Wed, 6 Jan 1999 11:41:34 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 6 Jan 1999 11:34:14 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA32209; Wed, 6 Jan 1999 11:34:11 -0600 Message-ID: <2C396693FBDED111AEF60000F84104A7D2318C@indyexch_fddi.indy.tce.com> From: Bakane Samir To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: [PDF] Web based PDF forms Date: Wed, 6 Jan 1999 12:34:06 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com I am trying to find out more information on setting up intranet based PDF forms on an NT 4 (IIS3.0) Server, with Interntet Explorer 4 (& NT4.0 os) end users.

You say that "There has never been support for Internet Explorer on 16-bit Windows" and "I don't think IE3 on Win 3.1 had ActiveX support". We have found that Microsoft offers IE 4.01 for Windows 3.1 at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/iebuild/ie4_win16/en/6859.htm and even IE 5 Beta for Windows 3.1 and NT 3.51 at http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/iebuild/ie5b2_win16/en/ie5b2_win16.htm The question remains as to whether or not this browser will accept ActiveX controls. I suspect that there is no PDF ActiveX control for Windows 3.1. I do note that Adobe provides the file NPPDF16.DLL for Windows 3.1, but I am not sure all that it offers. The question remains whether there is an Acrobat control that will work with a 16-bit version of IE that will run Reader in the browser window and permit highlighting and byte-serving. We doubt this, but we wonder whether anyone can tell us for sure. Is there anyone out there who can tell us whether the problems addressed by the OCX and RA patches even exist in 16-bit Acrobat 3.0x? It does seem clear that there are no patches for the 16-bit version.

I should clarify, that I meant that ACROBAT has never had support for internet explorer on Win 3.1. IE for other platforms is really IE in name only - it looks similar, but lacks the programming support inside (I understand). I have heard it said that IE on Win 3.1 will use Netscape plug-ins. Can't say that I have confirmed it. But, anyway, there is no change. 3.02 has not changed the support status. There isn't much programming support for Win 3.1 these days from anyone.

The documents just has text and text boxes. Plus, Acrobat Distiller PPD is not showing in my printer selections, was the PPD included with Adobe Acrobat 3.01?

Part of the package will include a recommenation to the end-users as to what version of Reader to install and utilize. I want the end-users to be able to both search the included index as well as be able to complete forms and benefit from the improved IE4-Reader interoperability built in to 3.02. I have not seen a Reader v3.02 with search plug-in. It seems, then, I will have to specify to users that they install Reader 3.01 with search, and additionally install the forms-filler plug-in and the IE4 OCX. Is this is a correct assessment on my part, or does anyone know of making use of 3.02 for this purpose by adding the search api?

Try reading this: http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/custsupport/SOLUTIONS/14a7e.htm In a nutshell you will need to remove the ScanPI, ImportPI and OCR plugins before Exchange will run. Adobe aren't going to fix Acrobat 3 (natch) but Acrobat 4 will hopefully work correctly and is out soon-ish.

Are you interested in a server based batch conversion tool (runs about $4000) or an individual file conversion tool? I do not know which tools work the best since I have not had the opportunity to test them yet, but you can convert CAD drawings to TIFF and then convert to PDF via ARTS Import, from Round Table Solutions. Doculex, Inc. offers PDF It for conversion with OCR. Handmade Software offers a tool that converts CAD to PostScript and then you can batch convert to PDF. If anyone has further suggestions, please feel welcome to share tools and prices offline, as we cannot promote or knock products on this list. Hope this info helps. --Karen L.

We are now looking at another product called WHIP! which is client side and will be quicker loaded...but time consuming getting it to each pc. Please let me know if you hear of a quicker way to get these DWG files to pdf that is quick and won't loose resolution. Thanks again!

OK, I am aware of some problems, which have more to do with the outputting model of the CAD software then with PostScript or the PDF format. I have noticed in several cases, that curves, such as cut ellipses (as you have quite a few in isometric display), get transformed into polygons which does of course increase your file size. And, if your original drawing is rather complex, it will cause longer loading times. Keep in mind that the average viweing station does not have specific graphic accellerators built in. But, as PostScript and PDF are vector based formats, you will not have any resolution losses. Which means that you can scale your PDF document to the maximum, and real curves are still real curves, sharp as they are supposed to be. Hope, this can help.

It happens to us from time to time in Capture Lite in Exchange 3. It simply misinterprets a character for something else. The tif's will sometime be of not perfect quality and in in other instances be pretty nice (being treated by Scanfix prior to recognition). Image & Text is nice by in my understanding defies the purpose of the PDF format (too large for network circulation & printing and so on). We push as much as possible PDF Text (not validated, what is not recognize is "most of the time left as graphics") but advise our customers, And YES from time to time some characters will be misinterpreted for something else (and particularly in french, punctuation). We have been through over 1/2 million pages and sorry to say people saying that Acrobat is perfectly correct in leaving unrecognized text as bitmaps without ANY recognition errors are WRONG or simply deals with 1st generation copies of originals or originals. mlaurin@a2i.ca Arista Integration Inc > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com [mailto:owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com]On > Behalf Of Aandi Inston > Sent: 8 janvier, 1999 04:06 > To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com > Subject: RE: [PDF] Capture changes type > > > > > > > > The Capture plug-in under Exchange is supposed to leave the > > text as is and > > simply do text recognition behind the scenes.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? I am currently researching ways to convert AutoCAD drawings to PDF,too. Are you interested in a server based batch conversion tool (runs about $4000) or an individual file conversion tool? I do not know which tools work the best since I have not had the opportunity to test them yet, but you can convert CAD drawings to TIFF and then convert to PDF via ARTS Import, from Round Table Solutions. Doculex, Inc. offers PDF It for conversion with OCR. Handmade Software offers a tool that converts CAD to PostScript and then you can batch convert to PDF. If anyone has further suggestions, please feel welcome to share tools and prices offline, as we cannot promote or knock products on this list. Hope this info helps. --Karen L.

I use a HTML form and the cgi generates an FDF file on my server. Of course then the cgi calls the FDFMerge app and it puts the FDF info into a PDF file, etc. You can take a look at it maybe you can use the first part of it. Don't know if Adobe has the PERL FDF toolkit on their site yet. It is very similar to the C FDF toolkit, that is available on their site at http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk/forms.html. They also have a sample catalog cgi, using a PDF form. Their sample sends the FDF info back to the client, you can just save it like I did in my script. Their doc has examples of all the methods. If you want to take a look at my cgi source, you can get it from my FDFMerge demo page at http://www.digapp.com/fdf_demo/fdf_demo.html Hope this helps, Linda Vincent Web Specialist Digital Applications, Inc. lvincent@digapp.com http://www.digapp.com >Date: Wed, 06 Jan 1999 14:35:09 -0500 >From: "Joel Wenger M" >Subject: [PDF] CGI Script > > > >Does anyone know of a CGI script that will let me post FDF information on >my web server?

You create a PDF using Distiller on the Mac which includes an animated GIF. It assembles and plays just fine. You take the same linked files and try to reassemble them on a PC and you get a "Not a Movie File" error message when attempting to link them. Nor I have yet been able to get this already assembled (on the Mac) PDF to run the movie files on the PC. Although I'm still trying. My guess is that it has something to with QuickTime. Maybe QuickTime on the Mac can handle an animated GIF and QT on the PC can't? Although the error message I'm getting is a Distiller error message. Anybody have this experience and/or know a work around? Can anyone suggest a utitlity that can convert animated GIF's to a QuickTime movie? This should solve the problem.

The pdf media size is determined by the paper that you select in the PageMaker print settings not the page size as defined in Document Setup.

The results are the same. Both my hardware printers are letter/legal size printers. The only drivers I have that allow tabloid size are a PS driver and the Acrobat driver. Besides, the pagemaker help file says that choosing paper size as "same as publication" in the Export pdf dialog box automatically sets the paper size for printing. Anyway, I have set the paper size to 11x17 everywhere and the results are the same. (Frustrated.)

You have stumbled onto something I didn't know which is that QuickTime on the Mac does play an animated GIF. But I'll bet the Windows version doesn't. My advice would be to stumble away again, and use a movie format.

I was able to get an 11x17 pdf file alright but it did not create a landscape file. It also did not process the whole file, giving me only part of the document spread over 2 pages. The printer styles dialog seems to have saved the paper orientation but the resulting pdf is wrong. I'd like to bill adobe for all this unbillable time figuring this out. What do you about this new problem?

If that printer's PPD is the chosen one, then it would be very difficult to output anything larger than letter size. This is what I would do. There may be a better way. Choose Print. Make sure the PPD is Acrobat Distiller. On the Print Menu Page, Click on "Paper." Choose 11X17 for the paper size. Click on "Options" to go to the area where you can export it as postscript. Check the box to save as postscript file. Click on "Save as..." and navigate to where you want to save it. After it is saved, run it through Distiller. You should have your tabloid sized PDF.

I just tried a wide/landscape page, it worked okay for me. -- I find it really important to go through the setup steps each time you "Export PDF". Pagemaker does not remember the settings correctly. When you get the steps right, write them down and repeat them exactly each time. -- Be careful if your PPD has the 11 x 17 size predefined. When I chose 11x17 from the list, it kept on flipping the Tall/Wide setting back to Tall. -- For my 11x17 page landscape page I used the following settings: - Document Setup - Page Size: Custom Dimensions: 17 x 11 Orientation: Wide - File->Printer Styles->define... - In my "Define Printer Styles" window I have two options, "[Current]" & "Acrobat". I click on "Acrobat" each time. The "[Current]" settings are always wrong. I always come here and click on "Acrobat" each time before I "Export PDF". The settings for "Acrobat" in this window are: Printer: HP LaserJet 5P * PPD: Acrobat Distiller (PPD) * Paper size: Custom * Paper source: OnlyOne * Orientation: Tall * Pages: All * ................ ( I know it says "Tall" here, but if you copy all the other settings it will come out wide). - Export Adobe PDF Window - PageMaker's printer style: Acrobat Paper size(s): Same as page size(s) -- I then press the "Export" button and everything is fine. -- NOTE!! I do not get any page size matching warning messages. I wouldn't normally reply in so much detail, but I sympathise and agree that this PageMaker function does not work correctly.

There's always 'just one more thing' that our publishing environment would like to do, and I'm a do-it-yourselfer. I have to admit I haven't tried Local Render yet, but I'm skeptical. F'rinstance: Can it generate four 'trees' of bookmarks, based on 1) First the heading 1 through heading 5 styles within a bookmark range only [MainDoc] 2) Follow with "TABLES" and each TableCaption style throughout the MainDoc range 3) Follow with "FIGURES" and each FigureCaption, same range 4) Follow with "APPENDICES" and each Appendix, and heading1-5 that is in the [Appendices] bookmark.

It may be downloaded from www.docctrl.com Think of it as a late Christmas present from us to the Acrobat community! Local Render is a tool for automatically converting Microsoft Word (Office 97 and Office 95) documents into "intelligent" PDF files. The Word Headings levels are converted into Acrobat Bookmarks. The Word Cross References, Links and Web Links, etc are converted into Acrobat Links and Web Links. The Acrobat "Document Information" fields are automatically populated from the equivalent Microsoft Word fields. Users may set security and passwords in the PDF file and automatically set the options to create thumbnails and optimise the file.

If you want to "place" PDF pages within particular PowerPoint slides, it is unfortunately not quite a simple, direct operation. PDF is not directly placeable within any Microsoft Office applications. What you can do is export EPS from Acrobat Exchange and import the EPS into PowerPoint. The only "gotcha" here is that the presentation slides on the screen will only have the EPS preview. You could print to PostScript and get high quality output or you could distill PostScript from PowerPoint and get a slide show that can be shown via Reader/Exchange. - Dov __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 11-Jan-1999 17:53:34-GMT,2189;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA10874 for ; Mon, 11 Jan 1999 10:53:33 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA13995; Mon, 11 Jan 1999 11:50:22 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 11 Jan 1999 11:48:45 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA13842; Mon, 11 Jan 1999 11:48:43 -0600 Message-ID: <01BE3D60.A09310E0@c209-135-207-133.kivex.com> From: Dae-Hee Lee To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: [PDF] JBG Image Files and PDF Date: Mon, 11 Jan 1999 12:47:55 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by everglades.binc.net id LAA13838 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com PDFers, Are you familiar with the image compression routine variously named "jbg", "jbeg", or "jbig"? According to the information I have obtained, it is a compression routine for b/w and grayscale images (4-bit?) that results in files "much" smaller than TIFF or PDF. I'm wondering whether anyone has scanned pages into the .jbg format, and used the resulting files for creating PDF and/or Capturing text. What software did you use to view and/or print .jbg files? Adobe Photoshop does not seem to be able to open files in the .jbg format. Thanks.

Thanks. It would not make much difference. Ultimately images have to be compressed using one of the schemes built-in to PDF - these include JPEG, ZIP, and Fax group 4, but not (whatever) JBIG uses - unless it is one of those. So, at best, you'd be saving intermediate space before the PDF was made.

In many cases the PDFs they produce cause my Acrobat window to resize. I generally view Acrobat in full screen mode (Windows 95 or 98 at 1152x864). I've noticed that when I open one of these PDF files, the Acrobat window acts like my screen is a different dimension. It leaves a quarter inch above the top of the window and hides the information bar behind the Window Start bar. The most recent file to produce this behavior is from Canada (I've noticed this on different files over the last 18 months or so). The file open settings are Page only, Fit page, Single Page, and Center Window on Screen = on. General Info says the files came from FrameMaker 5.1 via Distiller 3.01. Is there something unusual about the For-Export release of Acrobat Exchange that produces this behavior? __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 12-Jan-1999 16:42:06-GMT,2327;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id JAA08648 for ; Tue, 12 Jan 1999 09:42:05 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA06731; Tue, 12 Jan 1999 10:38:25 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 12 Jan 1999 10:35:00 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA06440; Tue, 12 Jan 1999 10:34:59 -0600 Message-Id: <3.0.5.32.19990112114703.00916580@pop.iglou.com> X-Sender: rdp@pop.iglou.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 3.0.5 (32) Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1999 11:47:03 -0500 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Steve Rindsberg Subject: Re: [PDF] PDF in PowerPoint In-Reply-To: <3.0.5.32.19990111100315.0089ccd0@goshen.edu> References: <852566F6.004994BE.00@uksmtp01.ha.uk.sbphrd.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com > >I am wondering if there is a way to use PDF's in PowerPoint?

Click that and it should fire off Reader or Exchange, whichever's registered to PDF file type. You could, though, have an icon or text like "Click here to view ", then use a PPT hyperlink to launch the PDF. Finally, you could possibly export EPS from Exchange and insert that in PPT, but I tend to trust PPT's EPS handling about as far as I can throw Bill Gates.

For some reason, the link path is showing up as an absolute path including drive letter, even though the homepage and the PDX file are in the same directory. This, of course, creates a problem when the file set is moved to a CD-ROM that may get used on a drive with a different letter. While I can set the path to a different letter, I cannot get an edited relative path to stick. I don't remember having this problem before, but may have not tested in a manner that I would have discovered this. Is this standard behavior? If not, how can I reconfigure the index link setting to a relative path? Exchange 3.01 on NT4.

In the example I'm looking at now, the sized is 8.8x6.6 cropped from 11x8.5 (landscape).

In many instances, I have received documents containing both English and non- English (mostly Japanese and Korean) characters. I know that there are Acrobat products for Japanese and for English languages - but will there ever be an Acrobat product that can encompass both languages? What I am envisioning is doing a multiple document search in a medical journal that contains both Japanese and English -- using Acrobat Reader with Search. Is such a product feasible? Can the knowledge that was used to produce the two separate products be put together to create a "Multi-Language Acrobat 5.0(?)" product? Don't respond if you think I'm out of my mind. There are people, however, who desire to use such a product. Thanks.

Thanks. > > Dae-Hee Lee Dae-Hee Lee - JBIG is a compression format designed for sending increasingly higher resolution pictures down a transmission channel. It's a "progressive" format, so it actually encodes several copies of the image at increasingly higher resolutions. It's not really designed to be a stand-alone format, or to be imbedded in a static document. From "http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/graphics/fileformats-faq/part3.html": ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: JBIG - Joint Bilevel Image Group Type: Compression Method Extension: Not specified by specification Version: Compression: JBIG Color Depth: 1-bit (see text) Maintainer: ISO, IEC and ITU Specification: JBIG is a lossless method for compressing black and white (1-bit) raster image data. Its primary benefit is as a method for transmitting bi-level image data across a communications channel. JBIG's progressive encoding scheme allows lower resolution version of the image to be sent first, followed by higher resolution images which build on the previously transmitted data (e.g. 75, 150, 300, 450, and 600 DPI). This capability makes JBIG ideal for replacing less-efficient document imaging transmissions methods, such as CCITT Group 3 & 4, but thus far JBIG has not been marketed in such a way as to make this possible. There is no official JBIG file format. You just dump a JBIG data stream into a disk for tape file, give it the extension JBG or JBIG, and you have a JBIG file. JBIG is jointly sponsored by the ITU (CCITT) and ISO/IEC JTCI/SC29 committees. The JBIG standard may be found in the following documents: Information technology -- Coded representation of picture and audio information -- Progressive bi-level image compression, ISO/IEC 11544:1993 ITU/CCITT Recommendation T.82 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As Aandi stated, this is not one of the compression techniques defined for use in PDF (see the PDF specification for a complete list), nor is it likely to be added since it was not designed for use in static documents.

If you wait a minute or two you'll probably get an error message like "Web browser has not responded to your request for over 1 minute: terminating request." The solution is to: 1.

No, that isn't a PostScript driver. You have to switch drivers. There is no way around that. So, switch the driver, and use print preview to see what adjustments need to be made to the document. And learn the lesson - Word is not designed for page layout.

When you say 'homepage' I assume you mean a plain old PDF, rather than an HTML page, or a PDF displayed in the context of a web browser. The first case will work, the second will not. How exactly are you 'linking ' in the index? The correct way in Exchange is 'File - Document Info - Index' and then specify the index to mount. When I've done it this way it worked as expected. Of course, the PDF you're using must already exist, and you must preserve the relative path that was captured when you associated the index. I had a devil of a time, in a different context, attempting a create (using Compose by Ambia - a handy product) a table of contents for a collection of PDF's that we put on CD - and trying to preserve relative paths. The trick was that the PDF had to exist relative to the collection, and then the TOC that was generated was inserted into the (essentially blank, at first) PDF. Hours of pain, but a good lesson I suppose. Good luck Mark >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> While preparing files on a hard drive for CD-ROM distribution, I set the PDF homepage to autolink to an index. For some reason, the link path is showing up as an absolute path including drive letter, even though the homepage and the PDX file are in the same directory. This, of course, creates a problem when the file set is moved to a CD-ROM that may get used on a drive with a different letter. While I can set the path to a different letter, I cannot get an edited relative path to stick.

Because of the project non-commercial nature, we're contacting software providers in order to obtain free licenses of use of the software selected for inclusion in the tool kit. As the Acrobat suite is one of them, we're following the official procedure set by Adobe to apply for a donation. However, this procedure, as well as taking our case to the attention of people responsible for donations at Adobe headquarters are taking more time and energy than expected. Can you suggest how to get in touch with Adobe staff to whom we can provide detailed information about this project and address a donation request? Do you have any similar experience with non-profit projects that may help us in this kind of requests?

The helpful individuals that replied set me on my way. Two issues have arisen and I seek the collective list wisdom: To the extent it is important, I am working on a Mac in Premiere 4.2. I am capturing the video using a consumer ATI board. I have been told that it is best to convert the video to cinepak for cross platform distribution in Acrobat. I've discovered that takes quite a long time to convert the video to cinepak! (although the test CD I made worked perfectly well on both my Mac and a colleague's WIN98 PC). I have seen that there is a reasonably priced capture board for the mac (Aurora Fusion, now $500) that will hardware compress the video in MJPG format (not cinepak or sorenson). Before I buy a board, can I use MJPG video in an acrobat file? If not, does anyone know if there are hardware solutions to converting the CODEC to cinepak and what the expense of such an item would be? Thank you all, in advance.

Acrobat can only use .avi or .mov (Quicktime) files. If you want the one file to be playable on both platforms, you should choose QT. > (although the test CD I made worked > perfectly well on both my Mac and a colleague's WIN98 PC). I have seen that > there is a reasonably priced capture board for the mac (Aurora Fusion, now > $500) that will hardware compress the video in MJPG format (not cinepak or > sorenson). I think you are mixing your terminology. Quicktime is an architecture likewise AVI. Cinepak and Sorenson are codecs in which you compress your source footage. In .avi you can choose from other codecs like Indeo etc. MPEG is MPEG you cannot choose from multiple codecs like Cinepak or Sorenson. If you are using QT the codec choice irrelevant EXCEPT that Sorenson is a recent release and only available to QT version 3. So you would need to add the installer to ensure distributed playback > Before I buy a board, can I use MJPG video in an acrobat file? No I but I wish you could! I would love to put MPEG-1 into Acrobat. I expect and hope that it is in the next release.

Hello all:

I had previously posted a question regarding a project in which I am
preparing a project to be distributed on CD-ROM in PDF form. The helpful
individuals that replied set me on my way. Two issues have arisen and I
seek the collective list wisdom:

To the extent it is important, I am working on a Mac in Premiere 4.2. I am
capturing the video using a consumer ATI board.

I have been told that it is best to convert the video to cinepak for cross
platform distribution in Acrobat. I've discovered that takes quite a long
time to convert the video to cinepak!

What file format are you capturiing with ? On the mac I would expect you should be able to grab the video as QT. Acrobat can only use .avi or .mov (Quicktime) files. If you want the one file to be playable on both platforms, you should choose QT.
(although the test CD I made worked
perfectly well on both my Mac and a colleague's WIN98 PC). I have seen that
there is a reasonably priced capture board for the mac (Aurora Fusion, now
$500) that will hardware compress the video in MJPG format (not cinepak or
sorenson).
I think you are mixing your terminology. Quicktime is an architecture likewise AVI. Cinepak and Sorenson are codecs in which you compress your source footage. In .avi you can choose from other codecs like Indeo etc. MPEG is MPEG you cannot choose from  multiple codecs like Cinepak or Sorenson.

If you are using QT the codec choice irrelevant EXCEPT that Sorenson is a recent release and only available to QT version 3. So you would need to add the installer to ensure distributed playback
 

Before I buy a board, can I use MJPG video in an acrobat file?
No I but I wish you could!

I would love to put MPEG-1 into Acrobat. I expect and hope that it is in the next release. I have posted twice to this list asking if anyone from Adobe can confirm that as an upcoming feature, but have never recieved a reply.

QT3 will playback MPEGs on the Mac and Active Movie plays them back on the PC so MPEGs are able to be widely distributed. I am assuming when you say MJPEG, that you mean MPEG ?

If not, does anyone know if there are hardware solutions to converting the
CODEC to cinepak and what the expense of such an item would be?

Thank you all, in advance.

Jonathan.

Again I can't answer because you should be able to set QT and Cinepak as a setting when you capture. If you are going to do a bit of this sort of stuff you should invest in Media Cleaner Pro from  Terran Technologies . This is an excellent program which will batch or single compress raw capture files to QT, Real Media, audio and lots more.

We would like to post an updatable schedule on the Web, either in html or in pdf, using a form. The way I envision it, the form would have, for example, a list of books at left and various stages of production in cells at right. If I finish the proofreading for a particular book on January 23, I'd like to be able to post it, changing only that cell. Meanwhile, somebody who finished the cover graphics might have input January 18. That graphics cell should remain undisturbed and still visible after I enter my change. Volunteers who want to know where various books are in production could look at the always-updated page on the Web, similar to the information you get when you order something online or make a plane reservation. You get a clean list with all your information on there. The only difference would be that any cell not filled in would default to the last cell contents rather than empty. Is this possible? Is it hard to do? Has anyone done anything similar? I prefer PDF because I am more familiar with it, but an HTML form would be OK too. Any ideas appreciated.

Seems that I have to have Exchange running in the background in order to access the Settings button. Otherwise when I click on it, nothing seems to happen (the hourglass appears briefly and disappears). Also is there a limit on the number of multiple files that I can convert to PDF in one go. Seems to work for up to 10 files but when I select more than that, it doesn't work. Apart from that, I think its a great piece of software for batch covnerting files that are optimised. I've tried to use PrintSearch but couldn't get it to work with PDFwriter97. I keep getting a runtime error. I've tried selecting default printer instead and set it to PDFwriter - this works but I keep getting prompted for filenames, although I've set the button to off on the toolbar. I would rather not have to sit around while batch converting files. Also I guess the PDFs are not optimised when PDF writer is used. Was wondering if anyone has had similar problems with these, or has a better recommendation for batch conversions.

If you want to proofread books, you need PDF (line endings, hyphenation, typeface changes, footnotes .....). If there is expertise needed from different people, (math, legal, scientific....) in fact, a PDF based proofreading system on the web would make sense. What you need however, would be "formatting on the fly", as text and content changes will generate pages that change. In the case you described, one "cell" is the book" and another is the "cover graphics". It maybe would make sense to split the "book-cell" into "chapters" instead, because different people could work on different chapters at the same time. (Obviousely if a person is working on a chapter, no one else can access the chapter). After proofreading and changes in the text file, a new "chapter" is generated on-the-fly, in PDF-format, with everything in place. (line endings, hyphenation, typeface changes, footnotes .....).

For some reason, the link path is showing up as an absolute path including drive letter, even though the homepage and the PDX file are in the same directory. This, of course, creates a problem when the file set is moved to a CD-ROM that may get used on a drive with a different letter. While I can set the path to a different letter, I cannot get an edited relative path to stick. I don't remember having this problem before, but may have not tested in a manner that I would have discovered this. Is this standard behavior?

To clarify, using File > Document Info > Index in a pdf file, I am creating a link-on-open to an index in the same root-level directory. For example, if I have foofoo.pdf at the root of the D: drive and type in index.pdx (no path name), close and reopen the dialog window ( File > Document Info > Index), I find that Exchange has prepended D:\ to what I typed. If I delete the drive letter, Exchange puts it back in when I close the dialog window. If I copy the files to the root of the E drive and reopen the dialog window, I find that Exchange has updated the prepended drive letter to E and everthing works okay. The problem arises when I burn a CD from the content stored on either drive. When I open foofoo.pdf on the CD-ROM, the prepended drive letter is now fixed as the source drive (D or E). If the CD-ROM is mounted at a different drive letter, the index is therefore not found when foofoo.pdf is opened. The index can be added manually and works fine that way. If I could prevent Exchange from adding the drive letter in the File > Document Info > Index dialog, I'm sure this would not be a problem. Is there some other setup issue that I'm overlooking? Thanks for your help!

You may be misinterpreting what you type and what you see. If it can do so, Acrobat will store the reference as relative (as it will if the index is on the same disk). It doesn't matter what you type to select the name. When it shows you the name, it is turned back into a complete windows name.

This should not be happening. Be sure that the index and the files are all on the same drive, and move them altogether. If this doesn't work you may be suffering from the name mangling common with CD-ROMs. Be sure to stick to 8.3 characters, alphanumeric only, no spaces.

Dave Williamson of Bull demoed several of the 9 CDs he has produced using Acrobat, and Sulojana Blows of BCL Computers showed us a terrific demo of BCL's PDF to RTF converter, Jade. Jade is a plug-in to Exchange. It provides an on-screen tool that allows the user to zone a section of Acrobat text and then drag and drop the text (including formats) into a Word file. It also does tables. The audience was impressed. BCL also has converters for PDF to HTML, and PDF to TIF. More information is available at www.bcl-computers.com. Our host, Dave Williamson of Bull, showed us how he has automated the production of Microsoft Office products to PDF. Bull has cut the costs of producing some of its sales materials from $90 per unit to $2 by using Acrobat. His CDs have 1,300 files Acrobat files on them. Dave has developed his own production product, called Dancer, that populates the Acrobat title and file properties box with information from the Office application's properties box. In addition, the process creates thumbnails and sets the PDF file's View properties automatically. If you would like a copy of Dave's presentation, or to learn more, Dave can be reached at dave.williamson@bull.com My thanks to the 21 people who attended the Jan. 21 Acrobat SIG, and again to Bull for hosting the meeting. The next meeting will be 4-6 p.m. March 18. We will give you an update on the site once that has been confirmed. --Carl Young, Acrobat SIG Manager Carl L. Young DigiPub Solutions Corp.

The goal is to have the table of contents pages have links to the correct pages where the individual reports begin. The challenge that I am facing is to have the links generated automatically. The table of contents pages are created from a text file produced by the same database that generates the individual reports. Each line of the text file contains the name of the individual report, the section and page number as it appears to the user (for example page II.7) and more importantly the PDF page number (hidden from the user). It is my understanding (and hope) that the table of contents links could be automatically created using the PDF page numbers together with pdfmark codes. I see the steps involved in the process as follows: 1) Create the text file from the database containing separate lines that include the PDF page numbers and pdfmark codes indicating the page to go to and the coordinates of the clickable area. 2) Format and print the text file to a visually appealing PDF file using an application or utility that has the ability to read pdfmark codes and automatically create PDF page number links. 3) Combine the table of contents PDF with the individual report PDFs in the correct order. (This part is already done being using AppleScript) The parts that I am trying to learn about is: 1) What application or PDF utility would be best for step 2? If possible, I would prefer to do step 2 on the Macintosh platform because steps 1 and 3 are done on the Mac. 2) What are the pdfcodes that are required and what is the required format? I have looked at the very excellent book "Web Publishing with Acrobat/PDF" by Thomas Merz, which has a good chapter on PDF, but I am not an expert on pdfmark. Any suggestions or guidance would be very much appreciated.

When I export to PDF and the document contains graphics that have been dragged in from Photoshop, they don't appear in the PDF document. This works when I print to the PDF writer. The problem is that printing to PDF writer doesn't seem allow me to size the document according to the size of the page in Pagemaker. I need to include graphics with transparent or graduated backgrounds. The graphics only seem to appear when I use one of the standard supported types ie. JPEG, TIFF, EPS, PICT etc. The problem is that I lose the transparent information with these formats. I've had to resort to composing the graphics in Photoshop, but ideally, I'd like to be able to do this in Pagemaker so that I can make layout changes more easily and across multiple pages. Does anyone know of a solution to this ?

Export is definitely recommended, and PDFWriter may cause you problems. I'm concerned that you say "dragged in from Photoshop". You may be surprised to hear this recommendation, but I'd strongly advise against dragging graphics between Adobe products. That isn't how professionals use PageMaker, by and large. Export graphics and PLACE them. > > I need to include graphics with transparent or graduated backgrounds. > The graphics only seem to appear when I use one of the standard > supported types ie.

Just because a graphic has a transparent area, that does not mean the exported graphic will do so. You may have to do it differently e.g. with a clipping path. JPEG does not support transparency. TIFF does support transparency via alpha channels. EPS does support transparency via clipping paths (of course EPS is unsuitable for PDFWriter). PICT supports transparency, but not, I think a Photoshop PICT.

Personally, I would advise against using the ActiveX (OCX) component for development. Adobe designed it for Microsoft Internet Explorer, only. They don't document it, support it, enhance it, or accept bug reports for use a development tool. It has no hooks other than those needed to make IE work; it may require IE installed on the same system; and Adobe may change it radically to suit the needs of IE. The Acrobat SDK has lots of information on other methods for viewing PDF files, including defining annotations which are drawn on a layer above the PDF file. By a strange coincidence, almost all the useful methods will require Acrobat Exchange. You could not implement the above in a Reader plug-in, because a Reader plug-in is forbidden from modifying a PDF or writing ANY file.

The problem is the display. PDF will display it with the predetermined zoom, which is not always the best. If you print your images, you will see that the quality is as good as the original (Depending on compression of course). To solve your problem, you can adjust individually the opening zoom for the document, in the document preferences menú. If you don't set it, it will open with the PROGRAM preferences setup. You have to notice that when you set the ideal zoom to open the document, depending on the size of the page, it will not fit completely in the screen. This happens when you work with DIN A4 with images. For more info. you can call me to the numbers below. Agur! **************************************************************************** ********************************************************************* La Oficina Sin Papel S.L.

The first questions must be: what is in the other images (TIFF files); what EXACT settings are you using for compression and subsampling; have you tried both PDFWriter and Distiller? Screen shots are notoriously difficult but other images are usually OK if you tune Distiller/PDFWriter correctly.

Do not bind the driver to any of your LPT-Ports or physical Printers! Anyway it isn't guaranteed, that when you print this PDF, it will look = like the original print.

They want to create redlining saving all informations in a separate file not changing the PDF. The PDF is stored in a workflow and data management system recognizing that a PDF has a redlining file which will be browsed upon the PDF-file. I cannot give you more details because I don´t have so much information. But I am sure we dont want to change the Plug-In. We want to use the information Acrobat uses by viewing a PDF-file.

When replying to a message, please *delete* most of the previous message, leaving ONLY enough of the previous person's (or people's, in the case of multiple replies from more than one subscriber) words to provide some context to your reply. It takes only a few seconds, and keeps the list's bandwidth requirements down. Also, it has a significant impact on the digest version, to which more than half of those who currently read the PDF list are subscribed. When replying, please also be sure to also delete the automated headers and footers from previous messages so they don't multiply with each response. Every post gets this header: and a footer something like this: __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ Since your reply will have these added automatically, deleting them from a previous message to which you are replying will help keep file sizes of ongoing discussions from increasing needlessly. The same goes for lengthy signature files that some messages may contain. Apologies for the duplicate headers and footers this reminder message will have. ;-} No need to point out the irony! Please feel free to send any suggestions, comments or list-related questions *directly* to: listowner@pdfzone.com unless they truly are of interest and relevance to the more than 2000 subscribers.

We provide three ways to initiate the process: 1) Nightly batch catches all drawings changed in the last 24 hours. 2) On-demand via double-click from our PDM product, one file at a time. 3) On-demain via email request. Sender receives email when the process is done. This method allows batches of files to be sent together. All three are automated. They use pro_batch for the Pro/ENGINEER drawings and an MDL initialization script for our MicroStation stuff. The pro_batch is initiated on the unix side. The MDL stuff is initiated by a script which is watching an input directory on an NT box. J.

You may be lucky, but Adobe do not provide any SUPPORTED way to overlay items on a PDF file except to write a plug-in. Redlining sounds like a normal and recommended use of a plug-in which defines custom annotation types. Typically the annotations are stored inside the PDF, which makes life a lot easier. If the redlining is made in a separate application, then you could have an Acrobat Reader plug-in that displayed it (i.e. if the plug-in only reads the redline file). If the redlining is generated by the user using Acrobat software to display the file, they must be using Exchange, since the intention of the Reader plug-in license is that neither PDF files nor any other file can be changed in a Reader plug-in; that includes, I would say, "file-like" entities like databases and document management systems. By the way, I'd recommend moving discussion to the PDFDev list, as this question is more likely to get an answer from specialist developers than general users.

The good news is that PageMaker comes with Distiller PE and an Export function (Export PDF off the file menu). There is a lot of control over the PDF output. All of the Distiller settings are available in PageMaker + more. You can automatically create Bookmarks and Links from TOCs and Indexes, Articles from stories and links from those defined in the Hypertext links palette. Quicktime movies will even come across from the PageMaker publication to into the PDF file. Just make sure that you have the Distiller installed or Distiller PE which is on the PageMaker Deluxe CD. It might also be worth checking that you have the latest Export PDF plug-in by checking the Adobe web site.

Unfortunately, I can not get any hypertext links to work from the index of Ventura Publisher. I have Adobe Acrobat 3.01 and can produce a nice looking document but no hypertext links in the index are active. I have two major problems: 1) Every time that I use Print, I get a print error; 2) Every time I use Publish as PDF, Ventura crashes. When I use Print Preview, followed by Print to file, I get a clean document minus the links. Some variables to be narrowed include: 1) Which printer driver to use: Distiller (no other label) or Distiller Assistance V3.01. 2) The index no longer has special tags shown when you go into edit ? mode like V5 of Ventura did. However, the HTML version produces links without these tags, so I guess they are no longer necessary. 3) Is there any way to look at the postscript file to see if it may be a Distiller problem. I rebuilt these files several times in hopes and changing the results but to no avail. I recently installed the 10/28/98 patches and no change. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I run Windows 95, Ventura Publisher V8.0 (with 10/28/98 patches), Adobe Acrobat 3.01, IBM Aptiva, 48 MB of RAM. Note: With Ventura V5, I was able to create a 4,400 page PDF file with links (although I had to repair the index file to get rid of errors). I never could get Ventura V7 stable enough to warrant migration from V5. __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 18-Jan-1999 19:23:45-GMT,2653;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id MAA04876 for ; Mon, 18 Jan 1999 12:23:44 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id NAA06546; Mon, 18 Jan 1999 13:20:13 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 18 Jan 1999 13:17:33 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id NAA06320; Mon, 18 Jan 1999 13:17:31 -0600 Message-ID: <36A388B6.C894A61A@starnetinc.com> Date: Mon, 18 Jan 1999 13:17:10 -0600 From: George Hunter X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (Win95; U) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: Re: [PDF] Bookmark problems References: <9401491018011999/A20933/MIMAS/11D192B10000*@MHS> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Lex Jansen wrote: > In total there are 730 level bookmarks and 28221 level 2 bookmarks. > The PDF file has more than 7700 pages (19 Mb). > Am I running into limits ? > -------------- START OF CODE FRAGMENT ------------------------ > > [/Count -40 /Dest /SUB5101 /Title (5101) /OUT pdfmark > [/Dest /SUB5101*0001 /Title (DEMOGRAPHIC DATA) /OUT pdfmark > [/Dest /SUB5101*0002 /Title (SCREENING) /OUT pdfmark > [/Dest /SUB5101*0003 /Title (MEDICAL HISTORY) /OUT pdfmark > ... > [/Count -40 /Dest /SUB5102 /Title (5101) /OUT pdfmark > [/Dest /SUB5102*0001 /Title (DEMOGRAPHIC DATA) /OUT pdfmark > [/Dest /SUB5102*0002 /Title (SCREENING) /OUT pdfmark I noticed that the /Count is -40 in both code fragments, but the arithmetic of 40*730 = 29200 is larger than the 28221 level 2 bookmarks. Is it possible that you have hardcoded the number of subtopics as 40? I believe this could cause a problem. One way to check it out would be to find one of your subjects with exactly 40 subtopics and see if the subtopic bookmarks works for just those subjects.

It works much better. After your PageMaker document is done go to print to file. This will generate a .ps document that you then distill. PageMaker gives you great options before printing to .ps and Adobe Distiller gives you even more. Check them out. If you have any problems then email back and I will give more details.

We save this as PDF and use it as icon for a button. The resulting document looks OK on all color depths on the Mac. However, on Windows, it looks OK at 16 bit and 24 bit color depth, but at 8 bit color depth there is rectangle in another color which is longer than the text area, but shorter than the full button. It looks kind of like ________________ | | | TEXT.... | |_______________| The four periods represent the different color. We get the same effect with another document which we create in Quark Xpress where we have the background of the same color and place a transparent text on it. This time, the text string is in a Frutiger, and the document is properly distilled. Does anyone have an explanation for that effect?

We would like to be able to disable printing for PDF's. Can this be done? If so, is it something that can be done after the PDF has already been created? We are getting an archive of PDF's from another source and would like to enable this restriction before publishing them to the web. 2. Is is possible to restrict the number of prints allowed from a PDF file? We want them to purchase so many prints then only be allowed that quantity. Again, is it something that can be done after the PDF has already been created? I am looking forward for some suggestions.

Given that, there is no way for it to update a counter in the file. There are add-on plug-ins that do clever things. Don't know the details but check out Signet (www.ambia.com) and FileOpen (www.fileopen.com). Be aware that the end-user needs to install a plug-in in these cases, which may be an obstacle to acceptance of your files.

We are getting an archive of PDF's from another source and would like to enable this restriction before publishing them to the web. Answer: Yes. Acrobat has built-in securtiy options that are available using Acrobat Exchange. You may prevent printing of the PDF document by enabling that option in the Security Options dialog box (click on the Security button in the Save As dialog box). There are 4 security options to choose from. You can also view what current security levels have been applied to a document by choosing File>Document Info>Security. 2. Is it possible to restrict the number of prints allowed from a PDF file? We want them to purchase so many prints then only be allowed that quantity. Again, is it something that can be done after the PDF has already been created? Answer: I am not aware of this capability. In my opinion, your efforts would be fruitless since viewers can save the pdf file onto their system. You could however password protect your documents, and they would have to pay for the priviledge.

I tried setting 2 consecutive page actions - Play the Movie then Execute Menu Item to go the next page. However, it seems that the actions are executed consecutively, as a result, I get to the next page and the movie doesn't get a chance to play. My movie is a fullscreen one that kind of 'transitions' the first screen to the next (which is a menu), so I can't cover the second page with the movie as it then sits on top of my links and buttons. I thought that javascript to control this might work, but I can't seem to find the object definitions for movie objects - ie. I assume that I should be able to play a movie from a javascript and also check on the 'play' status. I've looked in the AcroSDK folder on my Acrobat CD but I can't find any documentation that covers this (technotes 5166,5167,5168 don't seem to contain much information on movie objects except mentioning that they are an annotation type). Would appreciate any input from anyone.

Now, is there another way to bring a page action to all the pages of the document? Either with PDFMARKS, but also within Exchange or with a hack in BBEdit? Thanks a lot in advance.

First I brought the number of level 1 bookmarks back to 6 and then the problem is still the same. Then I changed the name of of a level 1 bookmark/named destination pair. For example, destination SUB5102 does not work correctly. When I change: [/Count -40 /Dest /SUB5102 /Title (5102) /OUT pdfmark to [/Count -40 /Dest /SUBX5102 /Title (5102) /OUT pdfmark and: [ /Dest /SUB5102 to: [ /Dest /SUBX5102 /View [ /XYZ 143.01 116.68 null] /DEST pdfmark the bookmarks works allright. This really puzzles me. Furthermore, in the PDF spec I read: "Named destinations can be represented with names stored in the Catalog’s Dests dictionary, or with strings stored in the Dests name tree in the Catalog’s Names dictionary. For a small number of named destinations, either method is acceptable, and for compatibility with PDF 1.0 and 1.1, names are required. But applications that generate many named destinations should use the PDF 1.2 feature of storing these as strings, where there are essentially no implementation limits." Can it be that distiller does not store named destinations with strings in the Dests name tree in the Catalog’s Names dictionary ?? I don't know much about this.

I think I understand what you're saying. The effect in Acrocafe.pdf is similar to what I want except that my movie is full screen (actually I've looked at the Acrocafe.pdf - they've set 2 page actions, the first to play the movie and the second ane ExecMenu to go to the next page - I don't see any 'resume' page action that you mention). The thing is how do I distill an ascii PDF ? I'm assuming that PDF being a markup specification language would be readable as a text file (I get lots of garbage when I try opening a file using a text editor like wordpad). You mentioned editing the file in Exchange - do you mean setting the value of the synchronous key there or setting the page actions. What I thought would get it to work would be to somehow edit the PDF file and manually typing the setting for the synchronous key. The thing is how do I edit the PDF file - I was kind of looking for a 'source' function in AcroExchange (like in HTML browser/editors) where I can edit the source code of the PDF.

Word's headers/footers, PM's master pages seem to work very nicely for this. I've done it this way, as an example: In CorelDraw, create whatever graphic you want to use for navigation buttons. If you can create several buttons in a single drawing ... a navigation bar, for instance, so much the better. Create PDFMark EPS files with the bbox set to something like 0 0 72 72 for simplicity's sake. Import each EPS into Draw as *Placeable EPS* not interpreted. Position it over the button graphic you want to associate with it and scale to the same size. Send the EPS to back so the graphic covers it. Once all the EPS are in place, select the whole works, export to EPS, then import that into your source app's footer, master page, etc. Steve Rindsberg/Prez RDP http://www.rdpslides.com __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 19-Jan-1999 15:39:19-GMT,3119;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id IAA28835 for ; Tue, 19 Jan 1999 08:39:18 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA21589; Tue, 19 Jan 1999 09:33:28 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 19 Jan 1999 09:30:48 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id JAA20816; Tue, 19 Jan 1999 09:30:46 -0600 From: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Carlos_Gonz=E1lez?=" To: Subject: RE: [PDF] Distributing page actions Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 16:30:57 +0100 Message-ID: <01be43c0$b60ade60$0a40513e@none.servicom.es> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Max wrote: > > >We have several documents, ranging from 16 to 56 pages, which we set up for >viewing.

Either with PDFMARKS, but also within Exchange or with a hack in >BBEdit? yes max: You have to use fields instead of links (I asume you are using). You can design fields to apear as a button if you want. Once you have the field designed, select it and in Edit-->Fields-->Duplicate exchange will duplicate each field in the other pages at once. (you can choose the pages). But be careful, you will not be able to remove them all at once but one by one (so practice with a copy first). Hope this helps.

As Bob posted, you can easily disable printing for your PDFs with the security options. This is done after the file is created. For a single file, open it, then go to File>Save As there is security button on the right side of the Save As dialog box. Click on that button and you'll see the check box for disabling printing in the bottom half of the Security dialog box. However, if you have sophisticated users who are not going to play by the rules, they can get around this setting. It's not easy, but it is possible. They can display the page, do a screen capture, and then print the new graphic. They could even re-convert the new image to PDF, minus your security settings. As for the limited number of prints, I'm sure a consultant could get you a fairly simple solution. You just need a plug-in with a counter, a loop, and access to the print function. I can refer you to some ex-Adobe engineers that can do this kind of thing for you if you would like. Reply off-list and I'll get you the contact info.

The following pdfmark will solve your problem. [{ThisPage} << /Dur X.X >> /PUT pdfmark %%EOF Substitute a length of time for X.X. Place the pdfmark on the page you want to show the movie on. The pdfmark will cause the page to advance automatically after X.X seconds. It works in full screen mode only. JavaScript won't work. You can control timing with JavaScript by writing a loop that counts time. For some reason, however, it doesn't work with movies, but it can work with embedded sounds and it can display or hide forms.

But I'm hearing different input from Reinhard regarding > how a file stores the path to an index that is to be attached > when that file is opened... Sorry, but I don't seem to have made myself clear. This behavior has got nothing to do with your opening this file Foofoo.pdf -- be it on drive E:, F:, or G: or whatever drive. Starting the Search Engine will open indexes that were active during your last session of Exchange/Reader. This procedure will use absolute filenames, pretty much like the most recently used list of files from the File menu. So, it's only YOUR personal installed version of Exchange/Reader on YOUR personal computer that maintains the link to an index file on D: (which no longer exists because you moved the files) and will therefore display an error message -- Nobody else will get this error message when opening files from your CD. >Andi wrote on 1/14/99: >----------------------------------------------------------------- >If it can do so, Acrobat will store the reference as relative >(as it will if the index is on the same disk).

We have ~1000 books containing an average of 10 files (FM, chapters, index, etc.). All of the PDFs contain links to one another (e.g., TOC links to spots in chapters, index links to other chapters, etc.). How do we get these groups of docs combined AND maintain the links, as the original target for the link no longer exists after being combined? Compose's "Composite Document" tool does not work. It keeps the links the same, but after the document is combined . . . the targets of the links do not exist. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I make pdf on a Mac and/or PC and serve them on a Sun running Solaris (UNIX). I've had no problems getting Acrobat Search to work on the UNIX and I don't do anything special that I'm aware of.... I just follow a couple of the procedures as outlined by the Acrobat Catalog documentation and ReadMe files. I do, however, always build my catalogs on the PC. Never the Mac. I do this only because the DOS naming convention is default to the PC. And, my experience overall is that wheras a Mac has no problem reading DOS and UNIX files, PC's don't like Macs. (They do, or course, but it's not as 'easy') and I always build and keep the index associated with a PDF on the top level of the same folder where the PDF is located. Once built, I never move or 'disassociate' the two files. If I transfer an indexed or cataloged pdf from the PC to the Mac or the UNIX box, I always transfer the entire folder which contains both entities, leaving the relationship (path) between the PDF and the Index unaltered. Obviously, using the DOS file naming convention is kinda lame, expecially on the UNIX where lower case with underscores rules the day and looks much 'cooler'... it can actually be a benefit in some ways. For example, if all of your PDF follow the All Caps eight and three DOS naming convention, and ALL of your other files are strictly lower case, then it becomes quite easy to visually locate the PDF in a UNIX computer. Hope this helps.

Refer to the PDFWriter Control Interface specification. There is a copy on the 3.01 CDROM in the Acrobat SDK; but refer to the latest one on http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk. Notice that Windows NT and 95 require different code. If you are lost, refer to the Developer FAQ on the same location.

If you try inserting additional text then it all has to go on the same line. You are effectively working in a one line text frame. The frame may not even extend to the whole line. So, stick to using it to correct typos or other simple corrections. For larger re-working go back to your source document (Word, Acrobat ACD file, etc) and then re-create the PDF using PDFWriter or Distiller. Have fun! Nick Walton ICI, England nick_walton@ici.com Good Evening, What is the extend of using Touch Up in a pdf document? How much will it permit updates or modifications? Thanks in advance for reply, Robert Richard Robertville, New Brunswick. __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 21-Jan-1999 17:10:41-GMT,2923;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id KAA12872 for ; Thu, 21 Jan 1999 10:10:40 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id LAA12267; Thu, 21 Jan 1999 11:02:35 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 21 Jan 1999 10:59:55 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA11915; Thu, 21 Jan 1999 10:59:51 -0600 Message-Id: <199901211659.KAA11907@everglades.binc.net> Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 11:01:43 -0500 From: Clay McCullough Subject: Re: [PDF] Storing pdf on the internet To: "pdf@lists.pdfzone.com" X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; Charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Mailer: Mailsmith (Bluto) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by everglades.binc.net id KAA11908 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com On 1/21/99 at 11:29 AM, nick@thisisa.demon.co.uk (Nick Boyle) wrote: > > > > Can anyone please explain the best method of storing pdf documents on the > internet. > > Nick Boyle > Surrey UK > I suggest you get "Internet Publishing with Acrobat, A Comprehensive Reference for Creating and Integrating PDF Files with HTML on the Internet or Intranets."

Q: how do they do this? I'm guessing that forms are somehow involved but a brief read through the documentation leaves me none the wiser.

It is obvious once you have said it. I tried it and, of course, it works. The only slightly strange thing was that the computer decided to put the resulting PDF files into the C: root directory (where I had to find them). So, it didn't remember where I had been saving other PDF files. To try overtly to train it I re-selected the "Ask for PDF Destination" option, created another PDF file, saving it in C:\Data\PDF, de-selected "Ask for PDF Destination", and printed another file to PDFAssistant. It still sent it to C: root! Not that it is a big problem but just an observation. Thanks for the good solution to avoiding the "Save As" dialog box. Nick Walton ICI, England. nick_walton@ici.com _______________________________________________________________________ Please note: To bypass the "SaveAs" dialog, I also right-clicked on the Distiller Asst Icon (on the Status Bar) and DESELECTED the "Ask for PDF Destination" option. I am not sure if this had any affect, but I did process multiple documents into PDF w/out seeing any SaveAs dialog.

I know that the final destination for our project is a CD to our client. For the last 2 years, we have used the adhesive labels and Neto/Stomper applications. However, after a petroleum engineer left his CD in his car, the label bubbled up. When he went to use it, you can imagine the problems. So, this company has issued a ban on the adhesive labels. I have read the sales articles, visited the sites, but what I really need is some input from those listers who print directly on the CD surface. So, which CD printer is the best? Thermal transfer or Inkjet? Which CD Media works best? Which are usable? How quickly do you go through printing supplies? Do you print before or after you burn the CD?

(Created by Capture 2 and Exchange) As soon as I burn the whole collection on CD, the and try to search, it gives me a list of pdfs where the term I was searching for occurs, but then it does not find the file, saying that it is either deleted or I do not have permission to see it. Yet if I follow links, in my table of contents I can browse all files in the collection. I am on win95 using long names for the actual pdf files and the search offeres only short name. That should not be problem, since on HD it does offer the same shortame as on the CD, yet it does findt it on HD, but fails on CD! (and yes I have burned the CD with Juliet name system throug Easy CD PRO 2.11 by Adaptec) Does anybody have an idea why the serch does not work on CD if it does on HD?

We use the Affex Hardcopy CD printer. It takes some getting used to, but rewards patience with good-looking CD-Rs. It's also quite affordable (~$1,600). One issue is the relative "tenderness" of the ink -- you have to be very careful while the disc is still wet! After printing, we place the CD-R in a cardboard shell that protects the read side, then spray with a fixer solution, available from art shops. When to print? It's a good question. Because the printing is somewhat more likely to screw up than the CD-R buring process, we usually print onto the CD before burning. This is especially true when we print full-disc art. For simple art, premasters, etc., we usually print after burning the disc. It's a question of which process is more reliable -- which varies disc to disc. HTH.

This plug-in has a tool called "Print Selected View" which does exactly what you want to do. You choose the tool, select the region you want, tell it what magnification you want it and over how many pages to spread it. Worked just great for me except the print job went to the default printer and not that set in Acrobat Exchange - be careful of that. I had Distiller Assistant set as the default printer so ended up with a new PDF file of the selection at the new magnification and orientation! Anyhow, when I reset the default printer to a real paper printer I got good results. There may well be other Acrobat plug-ins that do the same. Anybody know of others? Download a demo copy of Aeriel (30 day full working version; I think it was $80 to buy) and try it! Nick Walton ICI, England. nick_walton@ici.com ************************************************************************* Hello List, I am involved in generating technical documentation with Acrobat Exchange. We also include technical drawings. One of our customers requires that he can select a part of the drawing and print that part on its printer, i.e. not to print the whole page, but a zoomed part of it. Does anybody of you know a Plug-In or anything else for that purpose. That would be an immense help to me. Thanks and looking forward for your reply.

Thanks. If you send lots of off-topic messages you may pick up an answer from those in the group who happen to work in the field. But you will "turn off" people who subscribe to the list for PDF information. Many of the busiest people - those most likely to help with genuine PDF issues - have limited time, and will leave the list if the signal to noise ratio becomes too high. So using the list for off-topic messages is selfish and inconsiderate; in my opinion. Re: editing messages. Nobody objects to carefully chosen quotes from questions which allow the reply to make sense. But there is no need to blindly hit "reply" with all the messages in place as you would for a personal message. Lists are different, not least because other people use the digest (is it half the subscribers?) - please consider them. And over 2000 copies of the quote are going out. Again, the signal to noise ratio can drive people away ESPECIALLY from the digest. Really: inconsiderately sending attachments or long quotes can make the digest incomprehensible and useless. So, take the time to edit quotes. If only because the list owner has asked us to do so, and it's their list. Given that we've had a second warning, I suspect the list owner may be planning to start ejecting persistent offenders. Their choice, of course.

Thanks. If someone has a question he or she believes is not relevant to the theme of *any* particular discussion list -- enough to believe that the Subject field needs to be labeled "Off Topic" -- then perhaps one should re-think if this is the *best* place to post that particular question. We concur with that statement and belief, and in fact have posted a very similar statement in the past. If after reflection, one truly believes that his/her query *is* appropriate to a certain list, one should have no qualms about posting it -- and should feel no need to label it "Off Topic." Adding "Off Topic" to the Subject field serves as a red flag, suggesting that the person knowingly is posting something not relevant to that list. Some lists tolerate intentional off-topic posts if labeled as such, others do not. We have tended to discourage the posting of messages with such a label because of the implications cited above. In this case, use of pdf on CD-ROMs certainly *is* relevant. Asking about the merits of one printer type versus another is in most cases probably not. There are other lists and newsgroups much more suitable for evaluating printers. If there is a bona fide connection to pdf, requiring the expertise of folks more likely to be familiar with pdf-related issues & requirements, then a case could be made for being ON-topic. >I believe the overall protocol for the list has been - if >you have helpful information regarding the question - >answer. If not - Don't. > >If anyone else has any information, please >send it to me privately, so as not to burden the list with >information that may or may not be useful. As an alternative, you might offer to share a summary of private posts with others who express interest. But continuing on the list a thread labeled off-topic certainly would appear to violate Netiquette. rgds ~ Kurt === __________________________________________________ * P D F z o n e .

I must say my eyebrows went up when I read Aandi's post. Let me first echo Ron's comments above re Aandi. When I see Aandi's name in my list of mail I know I am always going to read an intelligent and incredibly succint distillation of the problem (pun intended : >) IMHO Aandi, you are one of, if not the, Guru on the list ! However on this occasion I feel Ron's topic very much on .... err... on topic. Certainly no less so than the long thread on CD burning x platform which went for about a week 6 months ago, which I found to be an extremely useful discussion. Both topics are away from PDF directly, but very relevant to DELIVERY of our PDF content. How can this be any less relevant to us since as electronic publishers, we need to deliver the damm stuff to a HAPPY client to get paid ? This list often discusses issues which are tangential to actual pdf production (Distiller and Exchange). Issues like, Postscript, CGI, Application advice ie. Word, FrameMaker etc, Server issues for pdf's on the web etc etc Personally I would hope that I could post a question on any part of the workflow in working with pdf's and not feel like I was wasting bandwidth. Finally Aandi can I say that I disagree with your judgement on the relevance of Ron's question but maintain the highest respect for you and the knowledge you bring to this list, please do not read this as a personal attack, nothing could be further from the truth.

Sounds like a lot of straining at a gnat to swallow a camel. Many lists use conventions such as "Off-topic" "TAN" "CHAT" or "DRIB" to indicate that a particular post may not be closely related to the main topic of the list. It must still be of some interest to readers of the list, or else they would not bother to post it at all. Somebody who is trying to fool you into reading a message that has nothing at all to do with the subject of the list is not going to advertise the fact in the subject line of the message. The whole point of labeling a message in such a way is so that people who do not wish to read every message will know that they can safely delete such a message without fear of missing some vital information. It also helps reduce bandwidth usage, in that it removes the need for flaming someone who posted a message of marginal interest to list members. It says, "Yes, I know this is only slightly relevant, or only relevant to some of you, but I thought it was relevant enough to be posted anyway. The rest of you should ignore it." Therefore, all this hubbub about posting an off-topic message is spitting in the wind, and demonstrates ignorance of common netiquette. ******Michael P.

I have found through practical experience that long file- names work fine -- if and only if the first 8 characters are unique. We had the same problem: the index works fine while on the hard disk where it was created but fails to work when copied to a different drive (or CD). I've made the first character of our filenames unique by numbering them 1 through 9 and A through Z to avoid these problems. Hope this helps.

To protect my authors I need to provide persistent copy protection. Ideally, the file will be installable and readable on only one machine (or allow x number of installations if the customer buys a multiple licence). The licensing process needs to be simple enough to be foolproof for customers who are not very computer savvy. We would be looking to link it to a credit card ordering process on a secure server and generate automatic unique serial numbers for each purchase which would be displayed to the customer as soon as their purchase was accepted. I am not looking for something unhackable, just something to deter casual copying. (If they are really determined to rip us off the will just scan the printed output or rekey the data!) So far I have only found one solution but it is far from ideal and still in beta. Does anyone on the list know of a practical way to do this? I am new to the list, so apologies if this is a FAQ.

I looks like you are distilling a Word97 document when it is still in its Word97 format. You can create a pdf file by (1) using PDFWriter, which should be available on your File menu; or (2) using the Distiller (print your *.doc document to a postscript file. (Its extension my end up beeing .prn, that's oka.) Now distill your .ps (or .prn) file. You may need to install a postscript printer driver on your system, the Apple LaserWriter II NT is one possibility. Print to a file using this printer driver, then distill.

We have run into this several times. We verified the PDF our transform program products produced was within the PDF 1.2 specification but were told by Adobe we had exceeded some internal restrictions on the Reader (I believe in one case we produced more XObjects than could be handled; in another case we produced a PDF file with too many pages; I'd have to check with my development staff to make sure). I assume the Acrobat Distiller is capable of doing the same thing; i.e., generating valid PDF that the 3.0 (and 3.01) Readers can't display. Our only option (at the time) was to make the PDF we generated simpler. Possibly the next release of the Acrobat Reader will have a higher capacity in some areas; see http://www.pdfzone.com to sign up for the 4.0 Beta and try to open your PDF files using it. Hope one of these two options solves your problem. Thanks, Stephen =================================================================== Stephen D.

While the majority of buyers can download without any problems, a small percentage (5-7) have varied problems in doing this. None of their set-up (operating systems, Reader, browser) shares any common factor that I can see. These problem downloaders have a further complication...they can load either one or two of the three files - but never all. And the 'bad' files are different in each case. There's no commonality. How can I get 100% download success rate? Can anyone help - even with the limited information I'm giving?

What color do I have to code to make them invisible ? 2 Is it possible to code file opening views like "Fit Page" or page open actions like "Menu Action Tools Hand" using pdfmarks. Or do you have to use the Page Action and Document Info commands. 3 Connecting Indexes Is it possible to code "attach index on file open" with pdfmarks ? 4 Disconnecting Indexes Is it possible to disconnect indexes automatically on file close or program exit ? Handling of Indexes in General I use the AutoIndex-Feature to automatically attach index files when documents are opened, but I'm beginning to have doubts whether this is actually such a good idea. Since Acrobat Reader stores a list of attached index file on program exit, readers end up with a long list of attached indexes. How do others handle indexes ?

If I can, instead of creating a large index, create say 5 smaller indexes, can I link them somehow? I know I can attach them manually on exchange or reader... as an alternative, is there a way of automating attaching more than on index to a pdf file (right now it seems you can only set one index file to attach upon open)?

Can you create the index in multiple steps, eg 10000 files at a time? Or try NT server. Or try cataloging under MacOS or Unix.

One color - choice of black , blue, red. Will not smudge, smear, etc. 10 seconds printing time per disc. Permanent ink Inkjet printers - by Fargo, Affex, Craig, etc. - costs starting ~$1200 - generally 3-color. Requires drying time. Can be smudged. About 2 min. printing time per disc. Considerations: Media - what kind of surface? Lacquer, matte, printable? Each printer works with a specific surface. Software - Some are designed specifically for CD (round label, arced text), some are not. Features desired may conflict with those available.

I 'dropped' a text file of the program (by Phil Smith), into my Distiller's startup folder; restarted; re-distilled the PS file - the end PDF came out in grayscale (orginal was in two colors). And, from an HTML file when I make a reference, say, , it does not work. Is it supposed to? ( I tried name="Page12" also). If any of you have used this type of reference and it worked, please let me know. I will go back to verify my HTML codes again. Or, if anyone can shed some more light on this, I would really appreciate it.

If you have got 30,000+ files and your files average 135k or so, you might be running into the four gig limit. Chris suggested multiple indices.

If you have a small number of Acrobat-savvy users, you could go the easy route and have them manually configure the search query tool. It takes about ten clicks. If you have a large number of users or inexperienced users, you need a custom installation written. A PDF can have a single index associated automatically, but for multiple, we went to the setup program and configured it there. Our software engineer got one up and running for PC, but was not successful creating one for the Mac. I'm not a programmer, so I can't comment on how this was done. You may want to pose the question to the PDF Dev group.

To a certain extent, you are doubtless dealing with that well-known bane: PBCAK (Problem Between Chair And Keyboard). Some users are plain unfamiliar with downloading a file to their hard-drive. Do you provide OS/browser-specific click-by-click instructions on your site? (ie, "Right Click on the file, click "Save As" on the menu that appears, blah, blah....." In addition, lots of folks get confused by the appearence of the Reader plug-in -- and don't realize that downloading is different from viewing. All KINDS of PBCAK out there! There's nothing inherent in PDFs that would make them unreliable in the implementation you describe.

What does this mean? hi jennifer, the error you described > There was an error processing a > page. Operation or data is too > complex. happens in some VECTOR drawings [EPS files] that contain too many objects. some drawings can get very complex in how they are created. [points, number of shapes, etc...] you will have to reduce the number of [shapes, points, items, etc...] to allow acrobat reader or catalog to display them. acrobat has a limit on the number of objects allowed rather than rework the original drawing removing points, i will often times RASTERIZE the item in a program like photoshop at [300dpi] to remove the VECTOR elements altogether. note: i only keep this copy to make the pdf. these files are extremely large compared to a vector eps and do not allow ability to be editted. i am not sure how these final pdf's are to be used, but this will make a pdf that can be viewed and printed without much image quality loss. hope this helps. jeff rochon __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 25-Jan-1999 16:53:12-GMT,5036;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA06696 for ; Mon, 25 Jan 1999 09:53:11 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA32455; Mon, 25 Jan 1999 10:50:56 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Mon, 25 Jan 1999 10:49:42 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA32317; Mon, 25 Jan 1999 10:49:41 -0600 Message-Id: <199901251649.IAA05589@crane.prod.itd.earthlink.net> X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express for Macintosh - 4.0c (197) Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 08:55:19 -0700 Subject: Re: [PDF] Make PDF work like a HTML file?

Generally, we have free space on the hard drive equal to twice the total file sizes of the files being cataloged. More if possible. Your RAM seems fine. I realize that it may seem like a lot of free hard drive space but unless we use a lot, Catalog often bogs down or shuts down. I've never cataloged more than 2 GB of data at one time and had only around 10,000 documents. HTH, Tracie Ramon Mellado Villarreal wrote: > > > 128M of RAM > 1.5G of HD > > Tracie K.

Wich drive letter are you using? Watch the distribution of folders. Usually, when you find an ocurrence in searching an index, when you place the mouse on it, it will display the complete path of the file to be opened, with drive name etc. Maybe when you play the Cd the index works but the path is not apropiate. We used a 1Gb JAZZ with drive letter D: to store the files, and made the index in that same disk. After, we burned the CD from the jazz. It worked in every CD rom labeled with letter D: (most usual in my clients.) This is just an idea of what your problem may be. Hope it helps (a little) Saludos de Madrid! >Tomas wrote: >As soon as I burn the whole collection on CD, the and try >to search, it gives me a list of pdfs where the term I was >searching for occurs, but then it does not find the file, >saying that it is either deleted or I do not have >permission to see it.

Another is how they are. I mean, acrobat shows them with any posible zoom. Wit some zoomings, they'll look yuk. with others, they'll look alright. Try to print them and you'll see they print allright. You need to adjust first, the size of the original doc. (try from power point text & graphics & see what happens 150 ppi is usually allright for color docs.) second, at pdf writer, you need to play with the zoom. third, adjust the opening zomm of the document. Be aware of one thing: Maybe when you get the optimal quality for viewing the doc. , the doc. will not fit in the screen. so if you don't adjust the page size, you have to choose between fiting the screen or perfect watching. hope all this mess helps. Take your time.

I sell an e-manual produced with Distiller, available by downloading from my site after payment. While the majority of buyers can download without any problems, a small percentage (5-7) have varied problems in doing this. None of their set-up (operating systems, Reader, browser) shares any common factor that I can see. These problem downloaders have a further complication...they can load either one or two of the three files - but never all. And the 'bad' files are different in each case. There's no commonality. How can I get 100% download success rate? Can anyone help - even with the limited information I'm giving?

Yes Steve - it is by ftp. The links are resident on the web page. There doesn't seem to be any problem dowmloading from them...just what happens after.

I had a similar setup, though on Win95 rather than NT, and if memory serves, it was Capt 2.0 that would not correctly complete the scenario - Scan side one - flip - scan side two. This was fixed in Capt 2.01, but seemed to cause us other problems - I'd have to search the 'archives' here to remember what those were. When we first ran into 2-sided stuff, Capture seemed a convenient way to go for scanning, but we were quickly cured of this thinking. Indeed, one list-participant passed along that an early Adobe remedy was to keep both Capture versions, and use 2.01 to scan, then 2.0 to process. So, are you using Capture to scan? You mentioned DeskScanII, but that's a TWAIN interface, and not what Capture would use to communicate with your HP6100C. Also, since Capture doesn't have a 6100C ISIS driver, you'd need to select the 4c Accupage setting to make it work. Please get in touch if you need more details For what it's worth, we did kludge something to make our brief excursion into scanning with Capture 2.0: scan the fronts, stop processing, start a new scan, beginning with the back side, and using the filename/number+1 that you left off with - but it was a little tricky.

What is the problem with Exchange? Surely it is clear that Adobe reserve the greatest power and flexibility for their commercial offerings. Reader plug-ins are much more limited in what they can do.

Yes, watch pdf-announce later this week for an announcement of a new index plug-in that will do this. It will also enable attaching them in batch.

Every security mechanism will have those who can who can circumvent and workaround it. A point to consider is that the majority of Acrobat users (general public) have Acrobat Reader for viewing PDFs. I wouldn't think that the average user will go to such lengths to remove the security. Regardless, perhaps you should check out some alternative security measures like Datanet's Secure-it, see http://www.datanet.it/Acrobat.htm kind regards, Karl De Abrew karl@planetpdf.com Planet PDF - A Round Table Solution http://www.planetpdf.com/ From: Jeffrey Cheng [mailto:jeffrey@annualreport.com.hk] Subject: [PDF] Security for PDF Dear All: I secured my PDF by Acrobat built-in security functions to disable the change of content functionality (but enable the printing function).

Is there an easy way to do this? The solution I tested was to bring the PDF file into Illustrator, enlarge the PDF in Illustrator, and save the file back out as PDF. However, Illustrator will only open up one page of a multi-page PDF file -- and I have quite a few of these "multi-page" PDF files to work with. Are there any other means to do this (in batch mode)? Thanks. I'd be willing to purchase a "reasonably" priced plug-in. I can work in either Mac or PC, have 128MB of memory, and plenty of space on my hard-disk -- not that I think all this information is relevant to the above subject matter...

I wrote: As soon as I burn the whole collection on CD, the and try to search, it gives me a list of pdfs where the term I was searching for occurs, but then it does not find the file, saying that it is either deleted or I do not have permission to see it. Yet if I follow links, in my table of contents I can browse all files in the collection. your helpful responses usually pointed to possible path mix up, but: If I copy the CD back to the hard drive the search does find the file as it is supposed to.

I tried it on Win95. It indeed produces the PDF file with path and filename specified. The ini file to edit is PDFwritr.Ini in the C:\Windows\System folder. I added a line like: PDFFilename="C:\DATA\PDF\test.pdf" and it worked fine. However, it will call my file test.pdf every time. Do you know how to get it to set the directory but prompt me for the actual filename? I tried putting PDFPath="C:\DATA\PDF\" but this didn't do anything. Also, what is the purpose of the line bDocInfo=0 I left it out and it seemed to make no difference. I included it, set the parameter to 0 and to 1 and again saw no difference. I half expected to be prompted for the Document Info General dialogue box. Is this ini parameter set documented anywhere? I saw no evidence of new ini files being produced under Win95 (happily). Regards, Nick Walton ICI, England nick_walton@ici.com Hi all, There is a __pdf.ini created, and you can modify this to specify a certain directory. In WINDOWS NT, it's loctated in C:\WINNT\system32\spool\Drivers\W32x86\2\ Put the following lines in the .ini file: PDFFilename="filename.pdf" \* Can specify the path here aswell *\ bDocInfo=0 A problem I had with this, is that each time I ran the PDF writer, it created a new ini file, and thus over-wrote the one I had changed. I have written a VB script to modify the file the way I want it. Cheers Al.. __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 26-Jan-1999 15:06:45-GMT,3739;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id IAA05866 for ; Tue, 26 Jan 1999 08:06:44 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA27823; Tue, 26 Jan 1999 09:02:18 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Tue, 26 Jan 1999 08:59:19 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA27537; Tue, 26 Jan 1999 08:59:18 -0600 Message-ID: <007201be493c$160a6d00$b2c314d1@Prometheus.main> From: "Ian Lurie" To: Subject: Re: [PDF] CD format ruins the seach capability Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 06:51:40 -0800 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3110.5 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Tomas, I've seen similar problems with CDs - it usually is a path mixup of some sort.

I wrote: As soon as I burn the whole collection on CD, the and try to search, it gives me a list of pdfs where the term I was searching for occurs, but then it does not find the file, saying that it is either deleted or I do not have permission to see it. Yet if I follow links, in my table of contents I can browse all files in the collection. your helpful responses usually pointed to possible path mix up, but: If I copy the CD back to the hard drive the search does find the file as it is supposed to.

Is there an easy way to do this? The solution I tested was to bring the PDF file into Illustrator, enlarge the PDF in Illustrator, and save the file back out as PDF. However, Illustrator will only open up one page of a multi-page PDF file -- and I have quite a few of these "multi-page" PDF files to work with. Are there any other means to do this (in batch mode)? Thanks. I'd be willing to purchase a "reasonably" priced plug-in. I can work in either Mac or PC, have 128MB of memory, and plenty of space on my hard-disk -- not that I think all this information is relevant to the above subject matter...

We have been using the TextBridge 98 engine (TextBridge pro 98 libraries with a bit of in house coding) to convert a batch of Tiffs into a corresponding batch of Image + Text pdfs. The Tiffs to be converted are located in one directory while the resultant pdfs are saved in a separate directory, but on the same drive. As Tiffs are converted they go to a "temphold" directory, also on the same drive. Our problem is that after 11-12 pdfs have been created, the TextBridge engine stops responding and gives an "overflow" error message. Any ideas as to why this could be occurring? All Tiffs are G4, approx. 100 pages and contain both images and text. We are running Windows 95 and 98, over 128mb RAM and have over 1gig free hard disk space. Additionally, we are trying to tweak the speed of TextBridge's conversion. We have been given the funding to purchase a PC that would be used solely for this conversion. My question is: What resources do TextBridge use? Is it a RAM hog like Capture or does it pull from hard disk space?

This... in my view... is problem No. 1. TB98 is great OCR (esp. for the $$!), but makes lousy PDF/I+T.

TB can also be rendered unstable when autozoning a bizzare (ie, real-world) page layouts. Even though it has it's costs ($$ and otherwise), I generally reccomend Capture for PDF generation. Having said that, some interesting alternatives are emerging. Check out PageGenie -- better "out of the box" PDF/I+T output than TB98 and decent OCR (although not page recognition) to boot.

That would solve the problem very easily, and not require _any_ scaling. The only problem I could see is with raster images, which might be scaled up more than it can stand. But then, you would better go back to the source document and do the scaling there, with appropriate tools. Hope, this can help.

I am, however, having problems wirh Acrobat and IE4. If I clink on a pdf link from a web page, whilst the browser is on full screen and the IE4 toolbar is on auto-hide, I cannot navigate back to the previous page. The only workarounds I can see are to open the pdf doc into full screen on a new window, and this allows me to close down, although it's not ideal. Any suggestions?

I need to: Print from Quark (3.32 or 4.x) a postscript file contained lowres TIFF & EPS files (can NOT print with OMIT). The postscript file is then run through Acrobat Distiller to generate a PDF file. PDF file is then sent to a different location for final output. Using a plug-in such as OPI Doctor from Lantana, I can relink to the OPI-low res on the server & print using Crackerjack to an OPI server for hi-res insertion. Problem is that only the TIFFS are written out in the PS file with any OPI comments, the low-res EPS files do not have them. OPI Doctor & the OPI server can not recognize these EPS files for OPI swapping. Has anyone worked in this area, and can shed a little light. I believe the problem lies with Quark, only writting out the OPI comments when using OMIT TIFF & EPS. Does anyone know of an extension/plug-in/application that can get around this problem? ******************** Nancie Urciuoli Director of Application/Software Support Applied Graphics Technologies 463 Barell Ave, Carlstadt, N.J. 07072 NUrciuoli@agtnet.com 1-201-896-5352 ******************** __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 27-Jan-1999 15:06:11-GMT,3739;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id IAA13690 for ; Wed, 27 Jan 1999 08:06:09 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA29194; Wed, 27 Jan 1999 08:59:51 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 27 Jan 1999 08:56:54 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA28908; Wed, 27 Jan 1999 08:56:53 -0600 Message-ID: <2E785084EBC0D111999900608C14A50901266687@ExchangeMN2.ATK.com> From: "Mera, Jose" To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" , "'Laurie_Coyne@mail.amsinc.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] Web Based Data Management Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 08:56:30 -0600 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2232.9) Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Alliant Techsystems' DocDepot product does exactly what you want, I believe. DocDepot is a Windows NT based server application. It provides for a server based (RAID) document repository (library) which users can access via a web browser (IE, Netscape). It requires no DocDepot client software. Document retrieval is via a full text document search (if they were indexed) or database key field search (Title, Author, etc.). Documents stored can be in their native format (DOC, XLS, DWG, etc.) or imaging formats such as Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF), Raster (TIFF), etc. Documents can be stored in logical groupings (families), and user access can limited to documents within the users "organization".

I believe that OPI Doc and Crackerjack are compatible with DCS-variant EPS files as well, and you might give that a try. Never having had a problem with OPI swaps when using Quark (unless files were nested too deep, or DCS files were embedded inside another EPS) I'm at a bit of a loss to explain why none of your EPS files are swapping. Rather than fault Quark immediately (not that experience has taught any of us otherwise), you might look to the OPI server that is creating the initial links and check for an incompatibility between the two OPI servers - the local one and the one at the remote location. If, on the other hand, (this must be my third hand) the local low-res EPS files are not being generated by an OPI server and are being created by some other process then the problem is reasonable - DCS (Quark's answer to the old Aldus OPI threat) is likely the only resolution.

Did you test the CD on the same workstation you used to cut it, or a different one? 2. Did you reload the index file from the CD? 3. When you cut the CD, did you use ISO-9660 format or Joliet naming? 4. Did you build the original catalog on a network drive, or locally? Aside from the suggestions already presented, I made a habit of building the catalog locally, then transferring to a network "holding area" for cutting the CD. Test every step of the way, and test the CD on a workstation independent of the creation process. Be aware of how you create the CD vs. how you will read it. Gary Weimer, CDIA Original message: Hi, I would like to report an astonishing development in my previously shared problem: about a week ago I have asked why my cataloged PDFs are not found when burned on CD. I wrote: As soon as I burn the whole collection on CD, the and try to search, it gives me a list of pdfs where the term I was searching for occurs, but then it does not find the file, saying that it is either deleted or I do not have permission to see it. Yet if I follow links, in my table of contents I can browse all files in the collection. your helpful responses usually pointed to possible path mix up, but: If I copy the CD back to the hard drive the search does find the file as it is supposed to. So all the data needed are on the CD and are in the right format, including the path. The problem is that if on CD, Exchange is not able to find the file one it gets the list of files from the search engine. I have a bad feeling this is a bug. Any suggestions welcomed.

All scaling, cropping, positioning atributes are carried over to the hi-res image. It is produced by a series of postscript comments, written into a postscript file during the print (or save page as EPS option). An OPI software package then reads through the postscript file looking for images with these comments, replacing the hi-res images for those images found. Hope this is clear enough, although I"m not an OPI expert, I have been working with it for a very long time. ******************** Nancie Urciuoli Director of Application/Software Support Applied Graphics Technologies 463 Barell Ave, Carlstadt, N.J. 07072 NUrciuoli@agtnet.com 1-201-896-5352 ******************** __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 27-Jan-1999 16:53:41-GMT,2765;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA16637 for ; Wed, 27 Jan 1999 09:53:40 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA08035; Wed, 27 Jan 1999 10:48:28 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Wed, 27 Jan 1999 10:43:03 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA07444; Wed, 27 Jan 1999 10:42:58 -0600 X-Sender: sbowen@pinc.com (Unverified) Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 08:43:49 -0700 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Susan Bowen Subject: [PDF] printing long text blocks in form fields Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com I have created a six page form (created in Pagemaker and converted to pdf) designed to be filled out online or sent as an attachment to gov't employees using different platforms. The form fields are set up for multiple line responses - averaging about 20 lines. Other fields have been set up to provide space for two addresses/organizations but the end user may need to add more. This is a new form and no one has any idea how long the responses will be. The data from the form cannot be submitted electronically to a data base but they want the users to be able to fill in the form electronically in Reader, print it out and mail/fax it back. You can add as many lines of type as you want to in Reader and scroll to read them but when printed, you can only see the text that is visible on screen. The question - Is there a way to make an expandable form field? or print out all of the text in each field. Exporting all the answers in the fields might work but how do we know which field the answers are from? Sorry if this is a "newbie" type question but I've never done forms in pdf before. Thanks in advance!

Use the PDFWriter Control Interface Specification, which you will find on http://beta1.adobe.com/ada/acrosdk. There is no way to specify a directory. However, if you are initiating the print operation, you may be able to persuade your application to change directory before printing.

Yes, somebody has, namely me. Aandi was the one that helped me solve this problem. He pointed out that the Postscript Printer driver already does some kind of subsetting, which you have to turn off. To do so under Windows 95: In the Properties sheet of the Postscript Printer (Distiller) 1. Click the Fonts tab 2. Click Send Fonts as 3. Select Send Postscript Fonts as = Don't Send Hope this helps.

Maybe the following helps: Check the settings in your The Postscript Printer Description File you are using probably has set *ColorDevice: False; To get color, you need *ColorDevice: True and specify either RGB or CMYK as DefaultColorSpace. Postscript Printer Description files have the extension PPD. They reside in the Windows System folder. I think you have to reboot before changing the file takes effect.

The problem consists in creation PDF, in which objects (not the bitmaps) and text would be displayed in RGB (As Is in publication). At print from Ventura and XPress we have: 1. Distiller generates CMYK. 2. PDF Writer generates RGB, but, unfortunately, makes many faults (not always builds fonts, output of the embedded PS-objects). Likely, same result have at print from other applications, in which by default CMYK is set. I suspect, that the problem consists in incorrect definition of device's type by these applications. In "How To" I had read: "The Acrobat Distiller PPD, which is automatically installed with Acrobat 3.0, provides applications with Acrobat Distiller information, such as its built-in fonts, paper sizes, and color capabilities". How to nominate Acrobat Distiller PPD as the RGB-device? Whether exist other PPD for RGB-devices? Or, probably, the problem is solved as whatever?

Verity keep their file formats secret, for commercial reasons, so we aren't likely to know.

Ambia technical support eventually admitted that this is a bug when using a Distilled pdf for the watermark, a pdf Writer watermark works fine. I used Illustrator to create my watermark and the quality was great. Ambia assured me that this bug is fixed in Compose 4.0 which was released at the begining of the year - although I am yet to receive my free upgrade! Hope this is useful.

Whilst I am sure that there must be other solutions, as we speak I am working on our new product ARTS PDF Wizard. This isn't a plug-in as such, but rather an IAC based stand alone application. It uses a Wizard interface that allows the user to combine and/or split multiple PDFs. It requires Acrobat Exchange - if you would like further details please feel free to let me know privately. kind regards, Karl De Abrew karl@planetpdf.com Planet PDF - A Round Table Solution http://www.planetpdf.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 28-Jan-1999 16:25:57-GMT,2281;000000000001 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id JAA19751 for ; Thu, 28 Jan 1999 09:25:56 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id KAA07049; Thu, 28 Jan 1999 10:22:31 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Thu, 28 Jan 1999 10:19:21 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id KAA06120; Thu, 28 Jan 1999 10:19:20 -0600 From: "Darryl Lucas (Solvera, Handforth, UK)" To: Subject: [PDF] Images are printed as black boxes Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 16:15:31 -0000 Message-ID: <000001be4ad9$73b8c480$ab7175c1@win95> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0 Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Hi All, When we print a particular PDF using reader to an otherwise okay Postscript printer, 50% of the time, all the "images" are black (the rest of the time, all is okay). This strange PDF was created from a Microsoft Word (6.0a) document that contained some TIFF photos in frames. The PDFs were created using the Acrobat Distiller printer and have been customised using a Form button which navigates back to an Index page. There doesn't seem to be any logic about it. Does anyone have any cures, advice or explanations?

We eventually found that the transferred had defaulted to an 'ASCII' transfer and that it would sometimes mess up the PDF file in transit. Once we selected all PDFs to be transferred 'BINARY', the problem disappeared. I don't know how to tell how your files are being transferred as it's probably set up by your server.

I'm coming to dread every order :-( This seems to be the state of play with web downloads, especially if your audience is not technical (even if it is!). Users who do not understand how to download, users with weird ISPs that do strange things, users who do not realise their hard disk has folders - you can only go so far. All you can do is put thorough explanations. > >I have just ordered the online version of your manual, etc, but > >I am having some problems downloading the Acrobat PDF files.

This symptom is typical of users who view a file in Acrobat Explorer, and attempt to save it using File > Save. This is completely wrong, but at the same time so natural, that you have to give very specific instructions to reduce the chances users will do it. Why not post the URL of your site - we may be able to suggest improvements to the instructions. Note that the message definitely does NOT mean there is a problem with the file name. I've always considered it one of the clearest messages ever issued by a piece of software, but obviously not, because it is often misinterpreted. The message, expanded, means: "I am Acrobat Reader, and I can only read PDF files. The thing about PDF files is, they all start with the characters '%PDF' inside the file. Now, this file you've asked me to open does NOT start %PDF. So, there's no point in my trying any more to open it, it obviously isn't a PDF file. I give up!"

Sometimes, they're wrong files. But happens also with OK files. To open them, I do the other way around, that is: Open the reader (or exchange) and from there, open the file. It work's just fine (most cases). Looks simple but that's the way it is. Hope this helps. Saludos de Madrid.

But my suggestion is that you try the following: 1.- Get a hard disk with letter D (very important): 2.- Put all your pdf files there. 3.- Make all your indexing there. 4.- Burn the CD 5.- Play that CD, once burned, in a machine with the CD drive beeing letter D: 6.- See if it works.

I believe that this may overcome your problems with a ascii FTP transfer on your clients side (as this is hard for you to control).

For most users this does not download at all - it views the PDF file in the web browser and leaves the user wondering how on earth to save it. It is only natural that they will try File > Save, and in IE at least this leaves them with nothing at all. The instructions on my site aren't ideal or complete, but I say "To save a copy move the mouse pointer over the link and right click (in Windows) or press and hold the mouse (in the Macintosh). This should work with Netscape and Microsoft Explorer." I'm sure we can improve on that.

I then used SAVE AS with Optimize check marked. It seem to take forever for the Save As to finish, in fact, I gave up and shut down the application before it finished. I then went back and reloaded Exchange. The new file was there, and when I opened it there were 233 pages. I randomly checked pages from beginning to end and the pages were there and the images looked normal. Thinking that maybe the hidden text was not there, I started at the first page and searched for a character string in pages 232 and 233. I had not catalogued (indexed) the file so the search was slow, but it went on out to page 232 and found the text string, and Find Again went to the same string on page 233. The only explanation I can think of is that since the original files had been optimized, attempting to optimize them again, this time in the Save As of the consolidated file, somehow spooked the system. Does anyone have a better explanation, or suggestion as what to do?

We use a workaround through ATM Deluxe and PS-Font= s (by wich the TTF Fonts are subst=EDtuted through ATM) Regards, Laura Dietz =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Mannesmann Arcor AG & Co., K=F6lnerstr. 5, 65760 Eschborn =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Laura Dietz, FIO E-Mail: Laura.Dietz@arcor.net Phone: (069) 2169 - 5720, Fax: - 3939 =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D For more information: http://www.arcor.net =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D "McClure, Mary M" on 26.01.99 22:46:28 Bitte antworten an pdf@lists.pdfzone.com An: PDF List Kopie: (Blindkopie: Laura Dietz/FIO_EXT/Eschborn/Arcor) Thema: [PDF] Font Subsetting = --0__=bI2zVT1ujEEEkMXdV8q5X13Bm4uGjgYHqb3l0ElsUCB1LfYwTyOEMaqd Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Has anybody had a problem where a font is subsetted even though you unchecked the Subset Fonts Below check box in the Distiller job options?

I'll subset it for you because you obviously don't know what you're doing!" I tested this myself by creating a file that contained only three characters from a font and distilling it.

If you find a way to change it this will be worse. Acrobat Reader does not read the whole file, just the index then reads on demand. If you succeed in changing the file, the user will start to get incorrect results or crashes. Best solution: use an intranet. Each user is working on a copy. (Actually, with an optimized file it is possible to confuse Reader by changing the file, but it is less likely to happen).

The main part of the contents of the book will be a Folio infobase, with references to various documents that we plan to scan and capture into PDF files. While I know it must be possible (e.g., when linking to and displaying PDF content in a Web browser), I have not yet found a straightforward solution. Here's the requirements: Must work on MacOS, Win32 and preferably also Win16 Should have a low license fee for volume publishing Should not rely on Acrobat Exchange Should preferably use Acrobat Reader (which is known to be installed for other purposes) May use another readily available PDF interpreter, such as GhostScript Should allow our application to display a specified region on a specified page; could be a named destination in the PDF a bookmark in the PDF parameters specifying /Page and /View or (at the very least) just a specific page May display the PDF content in an external application (e.g., Acrobat Reader) window or in a window supplied by our application (Folio Views) We'll be able to develop "helper" application (add-on to Folio View or plug-in to Acrobat Reader), but will prefer an off-the-shelf solution. I have the general feeling that Adobe is restricting the capabilities of Acrobat Reader somewhat in order to support Acrobat Exchange sales. Some of the solutions that I've found (e.g., Merlin Open System's Name It Launcher and XtraMedia's AcroViewer require Acrobat Exchange. OTH, Acrobat Reader can be used as the "display engine" for links in Web pages, which implies that any application should also be able to do similar things.

It could be that you are a bit short on available memory and/or disk space. It could also be that Exchange is running over a network or using a network drive for its temporary files. When you do a Save as... with optimizing enabled, Exchange will first do a normal save operation. Then it analyzes the document and writes temporary files to disk - to the system partition (it is so at least on the Mac). The final optimized version is the result of several such procedures. Compared to the original, its internal structure is totally reworked. One thing which could actually be a problem is when you have the same embedded font in several different instances (coming from the original documents). Now, what can you do? One possibility is actually to try to Save as.. again. Then, you could terminate all other applications running on your machine, then you could check the system partition, and maybe defragment it. The next step would be adding more memory and disk space, as well as getting a more powerful machine. Another approach would be to combine the original documents at their source level. If that is not possible, you might adjust your Distiller options to fully embed the fonts ... which would then give Exchange the save font basis for all the components. Hope, this can help.

My company is planning on going to a PDF workflow of getting the software documentation to our print vendors. Currently our format of choice is PostScript, but due to problems creating consistent PostScript and problems with vendors we have decided to move to PDF. There are other positive reasons we are moving to PDF, but I'm sure you already know what they are. One of our current issues with PDF is that since we need to make the PDF code such that all of our print vendors around the world will be able to use it, for all products and all languages. The area of concern is with Far East languages. Some of the PDFs we've been testing from our Far East subs have not been able to be viewed on say an English Windows version of Acrobat Reader. The error we get is "There was an error processing a page. A font contains a bad CMap /Encoding." I'm certain it has to do with the CID keyed fonts for the Japanese and Far East products. The error message does not occur on the Mac, but the fonts in the file don't work either. Since I thought that PDF was supposed to be 'P'ortable that this wouldn't be a problem. Is this occurring because the font wasn't embedded properly, there is a bug with the Japanese version of Distiller/Acrobat or is this a bug with PDFs in general? Any other issues that I may be concerned about in going to a PDF workflow?

In terms of functionality, there is very little advance on Word 6. Word 97 (aka Word 8) is the current release. I guess it is this one which you are about to upgrade to. In terms of file format, Word 6 & Word 7 is almost identical, to the extent that MS considers them to be the same. There are minor differences, mainly in terms of a couple of formatting features (such as text highlighting) that are supported on Word 7 but not Word 6. Both have a rudimentary hyperlink capability using a Word add-in called the Word Internet Assistant. This can be downloaded for free from the MS web site. You can do hyperlinks both within and between documents My program MultiLinker can take these hyperlinks and convert them into links within and between PDF files. Word 97 has a rather more comprehensive, and built-in hypertext capability, again both within and between documents, and to URLs. There are a variety of tools that will convert Word documents to PDf with the links intact. The Adobe PDFMaker is one which is free. There is also a verion of MultiLinker for word 97, which has two major advantages over PDFMaker. 1. It's a lot faster, especially if you have a lot of links 2. If you have links between two Word documents, it assumes, when you convert them both to PDF, that you want the link in the PDF document to point to another file with a PDF extension. It therefore changes the destination address of relative links so that they have a PDF extension. It will also do the same when converting HTML files to PDF. There's a free evaluation version available at www.multilinker.com Regards Jonathan West Multilinker - Automated generation of hyperlinks in Word Conversion to PDF & HTML http://www.multilinker.com -----Original Message----- From: robert.richard@hrdc-drhc.gc.ca To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Date: 29 January 1999 15:19 Subject: [PDF] Hyperlink vs PDF. > > > >PDFZone list, > >Standards in software for Government of Canada is currently Microsoft Word >6.0, version 7.0 is just around the corner.

Obviously the intention is not really to compress the file, but more to encapsulate it to both force a download and prevent modification of the contents (not that I think this is happening, I think Aandi's apraisal of the situation was the most accurate). Considering that it is *not* intended to read on-line - this may result in a little less confusion. Of course, you will still get your fair share of users who do not have a unzipping program, never mind not knowing how to use it :) I guess that's why I'd suggest having it as an alternative (perhaps even for those who have trouble). Anyway - just a suggestion. regards, Karl De Abrew karl@planetpdf.com Planet PDF - A Round Table Solution http://www.planetpdf.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 30-Jan-1999 4:44:37-GMT,2886;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id VAA09694 for ; Fri, 29 Jan 1999 21:44:33 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id WAA11403; Fri, 29 Jan 1999 22:38:51 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Fri, 29 Jan 1999 22:36:55 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id WAA11253; Fri, 29 Jan 1999 22:36:53 -0600 Message-Id: <4.1.19990129233139.0096ecd0@pop-server> X-Sender: rradtke@mail.gte.net X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Pro Version 4.1 Date: Fri, 29 Jan 1999 23:36:44 -0500 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com From: Robert Radtke Subject: Re: [PDF] Plug-ins to combine PDF files In-Reply-To: <199901281507.JAA20736@everglades.binc.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Radtke Consulting has a plug-in called RC:Splitter.

I think FTP servers always start in ASCII mode. They have in my experience, though I have not checked the specification. If that's the case, a server which did differently would be broken! So, it is definitely up to the CLIENT to select ASCII or BINARY, and I don't know how browsers do that. It may seem that substituting binary for ASCII will do no harm, but it could - especially if your host did not use ASCII as its native character set.

Any colour PostScript driver will retain the colour it is given, when printing through GDI (as in most applications). This can ONLY be RGB. Some sophisticated applications generate their own PostScript (e.g. CorelDRAW, QuarkXPress, Adobe Illustrator, PageMaker, and Photoshop, MacroMedia Freehand). These have no real relationship to the driver, and may output RGB or CMYK at their choice. Distiller will preserve RGB precisely. It has the option to convert CMYK to RGB. However, if you select "convert to device independent colour", although the RGB will not change it may look different. Because some applications always convert to CMYK, it is impossible to maintain RGB if you are using one of them. I don't know the story in Ventura. It is a publishing tool, so it may generate CMYK unconditionally.

If your host doesn't use ASCII as its native character set, it can still receive text FTP. The first thing it will do is translate the incoming characters to its internal character set. But if the data is transferred as binary it will not be translated. So the results will be radically different. I used to work on a machine whose native character set was EBCDIC, not ASCII, so these points are not academic. Also, in binary, no line end translation will be performed. This can produce interesting effects like all the data run into one line, or double spaced lines, or...

I inspected the postscript and determined that there were no links being generated by Ventura Publisher. This works fine with Ventura Publisher V5.0, so all that changed was Ventura Publisher. I made two changes and it now works: 1) I checked for new drivers on the Acrobat V3.01 CD-ROM and found a driver labeled V4.1 and all of my drivers were labeled V4.00. Do not know if this was required for the fix, but this was a change. 2) In Ventura Publisher I selected, Tools - Options - Printing Defaults and saw that the selected print style was Corel Ventura Default. >From the printer output screen, I created a new printer profile that included the Distiller print driver. I suspect that my Windows default printer which is a PCL printer was causing problems. I guess if I would have upgraded my printer to a postscript printer, I would probably not would had this problem. It now works but I still have two same old problems and still have to use another workaround. The manuals state that there are two ways to produce a PDF file: 1) Publish As - Adobe Acrobat or 2) Print and select the Distiller Print driver and print to file. Neither of these work. Publish As always produces "Printer Error" message and Print causes Ventura Publisher to hang and requires recycling Windows 95 to bring up Ventura Publisher again. I first do Print Preview, then Publish As Adobe Acrobat (which completes but does not present the save as window as it should) and then Print which has done something using the Distiller Print driver. I suspect that the Publish As step could be eliminated but I have'nt tried to omit this step yet. Is anyone else using Ventura Publisher V8.0 out there? __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 31-Jan-1999 0:45:21-GMT,3254;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id RAA01138 for ; Sat, 30 Jan 1999 17:45:20 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA26248; Sat, 30 Jan 1999 18:38:00 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 30 Jan 1999 18:36:10 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id SAA26063; Sat, 30 Jan 1999 18:36:07 -0600 Message-ID: <36B3A5DF.B6DB61E5@texas.net> Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 18:37:51 -0600 From: Robert Casey X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Subject: [PDF] Can't change page size via updating Example.PS file Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com I am trying to change the page size of my PDF files from 8 1/2 x 11 inches to 6 x 9 inches (the size of my books). In the past, I have selected oddball postscript printers that have 6 x 9 inch options as paper choices but rather not use this workaround. At first, I thought just change the Distiller page size option, but reading the manual it became obvious that this only applies to postscript files that have no page size (EPS files). I quickly found that modifying the Example.PS file setpagedevice command was a perfect - if it only worked! Since I using Distiller (not Distiller Assistant), changing the file located under the startup folder the Distiller folder seems to be the right choice. There is only one file (Example.PS) in this directory and I changed only one line: 1) Deleted the % (to remove the comment) 2) Changed to values from 612 792 to 432 648 When Distiller comes up, it looks like the Example.PS is being read as it says "changing default job parameters" which goes by very fast. But I still get 8 1/2 x 11 every time. A previous message on a similar problem states "place the Distiller PPD in the print descriptions folder. After that, select that printer from chooser." My system is Windows 95 and I have Acrobat Distiller V3.01 installed. I have under Start - Settings - Printer then selected the Acrobat Distiller v3.0 icon. Properties - Paper - About shows: PPD V4.1, files used ADOBEPS4.DRV, ADISTILL.PPD. Under the Windows/System folder: adobeps4.drv 550,144, dated 3/1/96 adistill.ppd 14,982, dated 10/30/96 I also changed the EXAMPLE.PS under Acrodist/Startup and tried several variations of deleting spaces to no avail.

I have experienced a problem with page-on-demand (byte serving) where the first PDF file accessed continues to download the entire PDF file (4.0 MB) regardless of state of reader having the download checkmark option disabled. I have two workarounds: 1) Launch Acrobat Reader before hitting the link that loads the PDF file. This seems to be the best workaround. After reading through this forum, it appears this may fix other potential problems. 2) Once the file is downloading, any page advance button appears to terminate the download. Are others experiencing the same problems? Are there better workarounds or a solution? On a side note, I had another real strange problem that turned out to be a simple HTML coding issue. I had six or seven PDF files and all worked fine at home (the web site and ISP are the same) but at work, one file would load the first page OK, but subsequent pages would lock up Netscape and Acrobat every time! My home browser was Netscape 4.05 and at work, I had Netscape 4.04. I thought maybe there was a browser bug, but upgrading to Netscape 4.08 did not help. Looked at the HTML and the link did not have the on the link. Corrected this HTML error and all is fine now. __________________________________________________________________ Reach a pdf-savvy audience by becoming a sponsor/advertiser ** PDFzone.COM "Independent Hub to All Things PDF" ** __________________________________________________________________ 31-Jan-1999 3:50:21-GMT,2221;000000000000 Received: from everglades.binc.net (everglades.binc.net [208.155.48.8]) by csc-sun.math.utah.edu (8.9.2/8.9.2) with ESMTP id UAA05194 for ; Sat, 30 Jan 1999 20:50:19 -0700 (MST) Received: from localhost (majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA04535; Sat, 30 Jan 1999 21:43:33 -0600 Received: by everglades.binc.net (bulk_mailer v1.8); Sat, 30 Jan 1999 21:41:40 -0600 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by everglades.binc.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA04357; Sat, 30 Jan 1999 21:41:38 -0600 Message-ID: <90001230CD9ED111B47F00608CF26D1E1D4204@ARTHUR> From: Karl De Abrew To: "'pdf@lists.pdfzone.com'" Subject: RE: [PDF] My ongoing PDF problems Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 14:39:45 +1100 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1460.8) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-pdf@lists.pdfzone.com Reply-To: pdf@lists.pdfzone.com X-HOME: http://www.pdfzone.com/ X-LISTINFO: http://www.pdfzone.com/resources/lists.html X-ARCHIVE: http://www.pdfzone.com/cgi-bin/wilma.cgi/pdf X-CONTACT: mailto:listowner@pdfzone.com Ken, This suggestion of Steve's sounds like a great idea.

Modiying example.ps for this purpose is good - but largely obsolete because it has exactly the same effect as the Distiller default page size. It applies to EPS files and files with no page size, but neither one will override the page size in the file, which Distiller is designed to faithfully follow. What you describe as a work-around is really nothing of the kind; it is the right way to do it (except that the Distiller Asssistant driver should support custom sizes; for some reason it sometimes doesn't always seem to). Another legitimate way to deal with this problem is to crop the pages after production. FrameMaker, in fact, crops DURING production.

However, I'm seeing some very weird behaviour - does anyone know what's going on? For example, if I print an Excel spreadsheet to the Distiller driver the resulting PDF often leaves text looking blobby - under magnification, it almost looks as though it's been scanned in. Yet if I carry out the same steps immediately afterwards, everything's fine - the PDF produced is perfect. Other times, the perfect copy is produced first time round, from the same start-up environment. The documents I'm printing weren't created on the computer I'm using to distill with, but they use only standard fonts (Arial, largely). If I look at the font info for the PDFs above, the bad version contains fonts with names like T2, T4, T10; the good version just has Helvetica. These problems seem to happen regardless of whether or not I use 'Embed all fonts'. I would dearly love to know how to avoid these problems consistently. I don't have any control over source documents, and since my end users are soon going to be carrying out PDF generation themselves, I'm looking for a simple solution - if there is one. All suggestions gratefully received!
